Contraband and Bollin Nellie are closely matched on their recent Ascot run with the preference going to the former who looks still to have a couple of pounds in hand. Kieren Fallon is obviously an interesting jockey booking and with Willie Haggas's' horses running well he should go close with the latter debatably showing her best form on an easier surface. However the TEAMtalk nod goes to Zaajel who has put in some excellent efforts in defeat of late and seems to take any ground in his stride. Team Mate won a slowly run affair at Goodwood a couple of runs ago and if the race becomes tactical then he should run well.
