The old adage 'back the topweight in a nursery' may be worth taking notice of here as The Fisio bids to follow up his win in similar company at Southwell last week. Ian Balding is having a fine run and with Neil Chalmers taking 7lb off his back to offset the penalty, a follow-up is very much on the cards and he is the TEAMtalk selection. The opposition is not bad mind, with Dusty Dazzler knocking at the door, Calbrae improving with each run, and Livy looking for his fourth success in five starts. However, all those victories have come at Wolverhampton and his pilot Frankie McDonald hardly endeared himself to racegoers at Southwell on Tuesday when lacking strength in the finish on the fancied Rebelle who was caught and beaten when looking to have the race sewn up.
