Verdict

It’s a surprise that SMART TALK has been dropped a further 3lb since her third at Newcastle, where she kept on for pressure. Brian Ellison’s mare is now back on a winning mark and the yard is going well. Shining Romeo came back to form at Huntingdon but a 7lb rise looks harsh. All My Love has been racing over further but Pam Sly’s runners here can never be ignored and she makes more appeal than Canyon City, Potters Midnight and Mellow Ben at the weights. Beyeh only won a seller here four weeks ago and that her first victory since 2013 so she’s probably worth opposing upped in class. The four-year-old Pronounced has his first run for a new yard.
