The Barry Hills team could hardly be in better form than at present and All Nines is the TEAMtalk selection to continue the trend in this valuable contest. The son of Royal Applause is on to the hat-trick after picking up a maiden and a minor event at York in the manner of a rapidly improving juvenile. Clearly well regarded by connections, this Gimcrack entrant should be capable of defying top weight. No Time finished just behind the selection in maiden company earlier in the season and now enjoys a 12lb pull for three parts of a length and has obvious claims of reversing the form if recovering from a fair effort in the Molecomb on Thursday. There should not be much between Robinia Parkes and Bella Bianca on recent Haydock form and both have place claims along with Regent's Secret who remains a maiden but will appreciate the drop in grade after running with credit against useful opposition over this course and distance at the July meeting.
