Some pretty poor chasers on show here with a slight TEAMtalk preference given to The Eens who has a pretty commendable completion rate, handles desperate conditions and has winning form to his name. A slight case can be made out for Inch Way on the evidence of his run at Newcastle on his final outing of last season and a reproduction of that run will see him go close. Solway Rose has winning form in heavy ground but has failed to complete on three of his last four starts and can be passed over here despite him having useful course form in the past. Hombre will be popular following an easy success last time out however the form of that race is difficult to assess so unless there is significant market support then he can be overlooked on this occasion.
