Verdict
Sublime Talent proved no match for the useful Cotton Mill when tried over this trip for the first time at Fakenham. He's finished well beaten in a couple of starts on the all-weather since and may struggle to give 6lb to EBANOUR. The latter's only win came at Doncaster in December but he was far from disgraced in a decent handicap at Newbury earlier this month and will appreciate the step back up in distance. Cadore was second on his hurdling debut at Wetherby but hasn't matched that form in three runs since.
