      Verdict

      COMPETITION is penalised for completing a double at Uttoxeter in July but just missed out at Fontwell last time and looks to have little to fear from today’s very modest opposition. Stop Talking may prove best of them with improvement expected after last month’s hurdling debut at Carlisle while Noah And The Ark finished closer at Bangor last time though was still beaten a long way. Panko has won five times on the Flat and may well figure in this company if taking to hurdling.
