Verdict

Preference is for TALISMANS TIME, who has run well at York on his last 2 starts and could still have more to offer over this trip. He is taken to see off the challenge of Asia Force, with Karl Burke's 3-y-o taking on his elders in a handicap for the first time, while Shipshape can also make his presence felt.
