It took Talk Of The South 16 attempts to get off the mark over fences but he’s now won twice at Warwick, beating MUCKLE ROE and Zerachiel on the latter occasion. Nigel Twiston-Davies’ runner comes out best the weights today, however, and can come out on top this time. Blameitalonmyroots has been placed over 3m2f but has found this too far in the past and Bassarabad’s stamina will also be tested. Hexham scorer Kilcullen Flem will find this a much tougher assignment but Streets Of Promise showed a bit more last time at Chepstow and has tumbled down the weights. Cloudy Too stopped quickly last time at Ayr and isn’t getting any younger.
