HIGH TALK loves it around here as he showed with a comfortable success over the C&D last month. He's been raised 7lb but his rider can use his claim to negate the extra and a double looks on the cards. The Tinker Murray has only won once over timber but has been going close and, after just two starts this year, should be fighting fit. Street Runner appeared to find major improvement when runner-up to Face Facts at Limerick and any further progress would see him in the shake-up and though D's Trix was beaten in that latter event he wasn't suited by a slow pace and is looking well handicapped over timber.
