Veneguera has come down to a reasonable mark at present and has run well at this time of year before. He is the TEAMtalk selection to land this interesting three mile hurdle on ground he relishes. Sleeting has been improving of late and a look back through his form suggests he is well handicapped here. The ground is ideal. Premiere Foulee had been showing consistent form before disappointing at Wetherby last time out. If returning to previous racecourse form he holds every chance. Surabaya has the ground back in his favour and a good conditional jockey takes a few valuable pounds off his back so he could go well at a decent price.
