Slowly falling down the handicap Interdit is taken as the TEAMtalk selection to land this tricky contest. The Philip Hobbs-trained gelding has had to settle for minor honours of late but has proven ability on this surface and looks hard to beat. Yakareem looks to be the one who will give the favourite the most to do and is another who has slipped down the weights of late. Strong Finish is a frustrating sort and is best left alone in this sort of contest. Jorodama King and Saywhen are too far out of the handicap to be worth consideration.
