Verdict

Zargus confirmed the merit of previous efforts this season when a narrow winner over the re-opposing Fire Up The Band at Royal Ascot. There won't be much between the pair once agaon on the revised ratings but the latter would have preferred more cut in the ground. Both Strathclyde and Hufflepuff are progressing along the right lines and should give another good account while Dubaian Gift has been knocking on the door and should also be noted but in a tricky contest the TEAMtalk vote goes to Bryano De Bergerac who came back to form at Sandown last time and will go close from just a 1lb higher mark.
