With the exception of Paul Johnson's two runners, Hormuz and Moyne Pleasure, all the runners have claims on official BHB ratings. Recent Musselburgh winner Ho Leng is likely to struggle to give weight away all round, while the old campaigner Wind Chime is not as reliable now as in his youth. The ex-Irish Resonate is difficult to evaluate and with Sea Storm not looking good enough this is probably best left to the two three-year-olds in the line up. Of them Feathers Flying has been below par recently and the TEAMtalk selection has to be Anna Walhaan. Mick Channon's colt has been running creditably in similar company of late and, with the stable continuing in good form, he looks the one to be on in receipt of weight.
