Another open race but the TEAMtalk selection is River Styx. The gelding from the Ginger McCain was a good second behind Nick The Jewel at Ludlow last time out and if he reproduces that effort he will be hard to beat. Royal Beluga was a good winner of a novice handicap chase last time out, but he has a penalty for that win and this is a more competitive affair. Runner Bean will strip a lot fitter than he did when fourth behind Nick The Jewel but on that form he has a bit to find with River Styx. Red Minster showed improve form to be third last time out but that was on much softer ground. Of the the others Doights d'Or is worth a look in the market as he is well in on his best form is lightly raced and ran well to be fourth after a long absence behind Claymore at Uttoxeter.
