A small but competitive field go to post for this stying chase and the TEAMtalk selection is Misty Ramble. The gelding is proven on the ground and on his second behind Shuildante at Kelso last season he will be hard to beat. Clonshire Paddy rates the main danger he is improving with each run and he was a good second behind Telemoss, that form gives him every chance. Tindles Bible has also shown he handles the ground. He has been placed over fences and hurdles under similar conditions but he has had many chances and again he may find one or two to good for him. Tall Tale is also worthy of consideration on his best form but he has had jumping problems of late and is readily opposed. The remainder have shown very little and need to improve on all known form to score.
