Pronounced is still a maiden and was beaten 7l when runner-up at Ballinrobe while Less Of That was runner-up to today's first reserve Level Of Intensity at Gowran on Tuesday. The winner attempted a double under a penalty a day later but came up short. Secret Memories landed a poor race at Wetherby before well beaten at Gowran earlier this week but JOCK TALK made a promising reappearance after a long break at Ballinrobe and wouldn't need much more to take a hand so gets the nod. Memorial Rose has been a big disappointment but the lightly-raced Enemy Of The State hails from a yard in top form and has the potential to do better.
