In depth
Verdict
Fitness will have to be taken on trust with the likes of Springhill Lad and Carn Rock but Bells Of Ailsworth found only one too good at Taunton earlier this month and it's only nine days since TALK OF THE SOUTH (NAP) won over a similar trip at Plumpton. The latter was always going well that day and can defy his penalty if handling the quicker surface. Ceann Sibheal looked a very hard ride when scoring at Lingfield and Gavin Sheehan will probably need to keep him up to his work again. Air Glider won't be far away if blinkers have the desired effect and Nancy's Trix could also figure.
