Verdict

No doubt that Nefyn Bay comes into this with the best recent form to his name around a course that suits him and with Brian Hughes riding at the top of his game but he has to overcome an 8lb rise for a 7L victory last time and needs another career-best. Winner of this last year Tangolan fails to come here this time in the same form he was then a factor that could also levelled at No Such Number. Return Flight would be a danger if he got free on the lead and although this trip could be on the short side there’s no getting away from the fact that TALKONTHESTREET is well handicapped on the form he showed when he was with Philip Hobbs and he may just be able to capitalise on this mark.
  1. Talkonthestreet
  2. Nefyn Bay
  3. Return Flight
