The ability to see out the trip will again be the main requirement and it is therefore possible to narrow the field down slightly. Bin It, who goes well fresh, is a tough customer on her day but has a bit to prove on her first try at this distance. So too does Clonroche Vinyls, whose stable are yet to hit top gear. Silver Gift will need to work hard to confirm the form with Michael's Princess on much worse terms than the last time they met - and may be best left alone today. That just leaves Well Then Now and Herself as serious contenders. There is likely to be plenty of support for the former and although open to improvement, she may not represent much in the way of value at this trip. Therefore Herself will carry the TEAMtalk hopes on the grounds of value.
