Verdict

KINGS CHAMPION looked a good prospect when opening his account at Ayr last month and can defy a 7 lb penalty at the chief expense of course scorer Crest Of Stars who rates a big threat though now stepping up in trip. Hurdling newcomers Talk To The Man and Angel Wave bring potential and are not without interest either in an intriguing contest.
