Talk Now scored on her only start here in July then followed up at Beverley. She disappointed under a penalty at Ayr and needs to bounce back. ELDELBAR, who won over the track and trip in July, led for a long way in that Beverley event and today's shorter trip can allow him to reverse the places with Talk Now. Chocoholic was beaten just over 3 lengths in that former event but has since been beaten a short-head on heavy ground at Catterick so some rain would aid his cause. Be Bold is 2lb lower than his last victory here last summer and is very closely matched on his second to the selection here in July.
