Mums Chatterbox gets the vote over Its All Chat, with Dynamic Leap and Wizards Dust also worth noting. The market may prove a guide here, but there is no doubting the fact that Mums Chatterbox won nicely on her debut at Market Rasen last month. She ran green that day and is entitled to improve, so is taken to defy a penalty. Its All Chat was successful between the flags when last seen nearly eight-months ago, and will make up into a decent hurdles prospect for Charlie Mann, while Dynamic Leap will know a bit more now after his introduction at Haydock back in April. He too will benefit from the run, while Wizards Dust hails from a yard that can get them ready first time. Roscrea looks one for the future, and we shall bank on Mums Chatterbox to do the business again.
