Richard Hannon has plenty of strength in depth in the juvenile department and is double handed with the lightly weighted Zafine and the ultra consistent Avening. TEAMtalk preference is for the latter who showed his best form last time when narrowly denied by a useful rival at Bath and looks capable of making further progress. Redding is going the right way judged on recent efforts although he may find this sharp track against him over this trip while Fortune Bay faces no easy task under top weight and Lord Of The Inn will find this tougher after being raised 4lb for landing a weak event last time.
