Tiger Talk, Super Sammy and Trenance are three against the field in another wide-open handicap chase and the nomination is given to Tiger Talk. The selection won well last time out when beating Countback. He returns to fencing on a handy mark and need only run up to that form to score. Super Sammy rates the main danger on her best form but she is best when allowed to dominate and that does not look assured in this contest and under her big weight she looks worth taking on. Trenance is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Change Agent but he continues to be let down by his jumping at vital stages and for that reason he is opposed. Willie The Fish is a course and distance winner that could run well at a price but he ran a lifeless race last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Extra Cache is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Tiger Talk.
