The fact that Terdad is rated only 92 would suggest that this will not take much winning and the best policy may come in trying to find some value in opposing the topweight. Terino, Hancock and Relative Delight all have a little to prove, even at this level and are not hard to pass over today. As do Hidden Pearl and West End Dancer, who hold ability but have too many questions to answer to support with any real confidence. Therefore Asking, whose first victory under rules was gained here way back in the mist of time, is given the TEAMtalk vote. The gelding ran as if needing the outing last time and can gain a third victory at Market Rasen if he runs up to the pick of his form. Amarone is a little inconsistent but can make the best of his way home against some weak opposition to fill the slot for the forecast.
