A tight first division to this handicap sees plenty coming here with realistic chances. The TEAMtalk selection here is Dunedin Rascal who acts well on this surface and showed his well being after a break with a good second here last time. He is best over this minimum distance and should make a bold bid. He actually finished behind Arogant Prince last time but the latter will find this much more competitive and is weighted to have the placings reversed. Teyaar is very inconsistent but if putting his best foot forward should be in the shake-up here, however that is a big if. One who may be better value is Blueberry Rhyme who put up a much improved performance over this distance at Southwell last time and a repeat of that run would see him go very close.
