Another wide open affair in which many have chances but the TEAMtalk selection is Prince Tulum. The gelding from the Nick Littmoden yard was a good third behind Celtic Mill last time out and if he can reproduce that effort he will be hard to beat. Reap rates the main danger as he has been in good form of late and finished in mid-division in a much better race last time out. He goes well over course and distance and looks a good bet for a place at least. Summer Shades has dropped to a mark that he has won off but was slightly disappointing last time and for that reason he is over looked here. Exclusive Air is from a stable in top form and any market confidence would be significant. Labrett is also from a yard in form but has ran as if in the handicappers grip of late. Of the others, Cherished Number could run well at a big price with conditions in his favour.
