Broctune Papa Gio and TALENT SCOUT won divisions of this handicap last year. The former has decent claims once again having made the frame in his last three starts but Talent Scout is just preferred. He returned from a lay-off with a decent effort in a higher grade handicap at Pontefract and Tim Walford's charge looks capable of landing this off his current mark. Dream Win showed a bit more over a longer trip last time and also looks set to make a bold bid but it was soft ground when Izzet scored over C&D in June and Indian Giver makes more appeal on this faster surface.
