Imtalkinggibberish is selected to land the first race ahead of Beveller and Zwadi. Imtalkinggibberish has the most consistent level of form here and as John Jenkins' charge has been placed twice in his past three outings, he should make a bold bid to get losses back after being beaten favourite when collared by a 50-1 shot at Southwell last month. He is no world-beater but will surely go close again from stall one. Beveller has a long absence to overcome but should have a race in him judged on a rather unlucky effort at Southwell on his last appearance in November 2003. If anywhere near fit, it would be no surprise were he to make the frame. Zwadi has been placed a few times on Turf and is much better handicapped now. Her first run at Wolverhampton was not very encouraging though and she does not make anywhere near as much appeal as Imtalkinggibberish in the opener.
