Bond Becks put in his best performance to date in the Flying Childers at Doncaster last weekend. Drawn poorly, he put in a sustained effort right to the line. The time of that race was good and the form looks solid. He is the TEAMtalk selection. Another to consider is Membership if he has the necessary speed to cope with this drop in trip, his form figures look good and could still be on the upgrade. Although run in a relatively slow time, the form of Sierra Vista's race three weeks ago is working out particularly well - the ground will suit also. Another who will be suited by the easy surface will be Bella Tusa who is returning from a long absence though this trip could be on the short side for her. Although the trainer of Arran Pilot has to be respected at this course her current form is poor and the suspicion is that the horse will not be good enough anyway. Tilak has the profile of an improving sort and his trainer is starting to hit form. He is another to consider.
