Talk To The Man
Justified favouritism in Irish point (good to yielding) last spring; gave the impression the run was needed when fifth of eight in Exeter bumper (soft; 9-4) on New Year's Day, still second over 1f out; represents last year's winning trainer/rider and no surprise if he improves a fair bit.

Tiddesley Wood
By Sir Percy out of a bumper and useful 2m/2m3f hurdle winner; shaped even better than the bare result when third of 16 at Doncaster (good to soft; 10-1) two months ago, improving from the rear when short of room inside the final 1f; could take a big step forward and he's high on the list.
