A first-time visor worked for Valiant Romeo last time out at Goodwood and he is the TEAMtalk selection. Always travelling well he was unable to quicken when the more fancied Avonbridge went past him close home. If he handles the easy ground then he should go close despite running from out of the handicap. If Waterline Dancer can put a stinking run at Beverley behind him then he could play a hand in the finish, he has been consistent all season - winning twice already. Magic Myth will be highly fancied here due to his two victories at Hamilton and Newmarket. Slightly below par at York last time he may prefer the easier ground here but may not be much value. Seafield Towers has been gradually improving all season though has yet to prove himself on this surface. Eastern Magenta has shown some interesting form on easy ground and if back to his best should go close, he put in a poor run at Ascot in July but showed his well being with a creditable run at Ripon three weeks ago.
