Few can be fancied in a modest contest and the TEAMtalk vote goes to Madeline Basset. Gerard Butler's charge was a comfortable winner over course and distance in November and ran with credit on a return visit when fifth, beaten four lengths, off a mark of 89 in a valuable event earlier in the month. A repeat performance should suffice at this level. Celtic Thatcher has clearly had his problems and appears a shadow of his former self on the evidence of his latest effort while Eastborough has something to find on these terms and the remainder are dificult to fancy.
