    Verdict

    Douglas Talking was already beaten when falling at Doncaster on his bid for a hat-trick. He remains 7lb higher than his latest success but GERONIMO has been raised only 3lb for scoring at Carlisle last month. That was his first start over the larger obstacles and with plenty more to come, Donald McCain’s charge looks the one to side with.
