Verdict

A strong bumper for the track, and most definitely the highlight of a largely low-key midweek card. Portrush Ted has very much been there and got the t-shirt in these type of races, and represents the clear form pick on the strength of his Ascot second to Nestor Park. However, he needs to bounce back from a puzzling effort latest, but the very fact that he figures amongst the line up suggests that he's fully over whatever ailment was prevalent. Brewin'upastorm will fill the column inches not least because of his hefty price tag, but also the manner of his Quakerstown debut success, whilst Blue Flight looks a likely improver for Nigel Twiston-Davies. However, LOCKER ROOM TALK rates as the selection for Rebecca Curtis and James Bowen. He has side-stepped a couple of recent options, including at Taunton last week (late non-runner), but everything looks primed for a strong showing here (track and ground fine) from this £135,000 purchase.
  1. Locker Room Talk
  2. Brewin'upastorm
  3. Portrush Ted
