Sister Lola is 4-22 around here but has never won over the trip nor has Spilt Passion, who has changed hands since scoring over 7f in November. TALBOT (NAP) hasn't won since his debut at Lingfield in 2020 but made an eye-catching first track start earlier this month when staying on over 7f. He looks to have more to offer and can gain a belated second success. Annexation went up 8lb for scoring over the course and distance then raced over 1m4f next time while Ampeson has been in excellent form but was beaten just over a length by Skontonovski last week and the winner should have the edge again.
