Talent Scout made all at Newcastle last Saturday but will find it tougher to dominate this big field under a penalty. Elijah Pepper, under George Duffield, just failed to overhaul Patriotic and land a race for retired jockeys at Doncaster last week but Ted's Brother is better over 7f and Layla's King's win came in a soft-looking maiden at Southwell. Special Mix and Christmas Light have been knocking on the door, however, while the booking of Eddie Ahern for Eastward Ho catches the eye but SASLONG could prove the pick of the weights. There's every chance that Mark Johnston's lightly-raced three-year-old will improve a little now he gets fast ground and he wasn't beaten far in a slightly better race at Epsom last time.
