Verdict

It's a surprise to see Pub Talk dropping back to the minimum after two victories over 7f and a staying-on effort over a mile here a month ago. Lisieux was eight lengths behind him in a 7f claimer here but did much better when dropped to 6f last month. NOT TOO REAL BAD (NAP) has been showing very good speed over 6f and may have too much pace for most of these so gets though nod. Havana Notion was staying on over that trip last time after getting outpaced though he looks to have some scope.
