Sir Toby has been in fine form all year and completed a hat-trick when winning over this course and distance last time. He should prove just as effective on this ground and the handicapper may not have caught up with him yet, so TEAMtalk selects him to make it four out of four for the season. Ibis Rochelais was only just beaten by the selection at Kempton last month, and re-opposes on the same terms here. He was not disgraced behind two smart novices on his next start and can chase home the Sir Toby once again. Mount Prague was a very game winner at Huntingdon on his reappearance, but can sometimes be let down by his jumping and is better suited by a sharper track. Course winner Lord North is probably the pick of the remainder, but has not run since pulling up at Stratford back in June.
