This is a very tightly-knit contest and one that poses a few imponderables with regard to the ability of a few of these when there is cut in the ground. An obvious choice would be Castleshane, who will be dangerous if he is allowed to nick an easy lead. However, his best form has been on a faster surface and he has no easy task ahead of him at the weights today. Tawoos, officially rated 3lb better than Castleshane, gets a handy 7lb from her rival and looks to be the safer option today. The daughter of Rainbow Quest is still very lightly raced and has improved with each outing this season. The form of her Newmarket run last time out looks solid enough to recommend her as the TEAMtalk selection and she can continue to give a good account of herself with Willie Supple in the saddle today. Pinchincha is becoming something of a nearly horse and again looks to have place claims at best. Whilst Celtic Ballet would not have too much to find to get involved at the finish.
