A disappointing turn out and this looks a good opportunity for Egypt to resume winning ways. The TEAMtalk selection has held his form well of late and followed a Fontwell success in August with a fine second of 13 off today's 5lb higher mark at Hereford last time. A reproduction may suffice in this less competitive encounter. Lord Of Love is well treated on the pick of his form but has been well below par in both outings this term while Fashion Victim has struggled since landing a novice handicap on this card twelve months ago and can't be backed with confidence at present.
