Verdict

Sublime Talent finally took advantage of a tumbling mark to win in this grade at Chepstow last month. He'll handle the quicker going and, despite a 5lb higher mark, still isn't badly treated so must go well. But we just prefer TOUR D'ARGENT, who was only beaten three lengths over track and trip on his first run in almost 12 months. He's sure to strip fitter today and can finally open his account over the larger obstacles. Town Mouse just held off Very Noble at Fontwell 11 days ago but the second won over hurdles last week so the form looks solid. Limpopo Tom has his first run for David Rees so may be best watched.
