Redswan is on a long losing sequence but will rarely find a weaker contest so is handed the TEAMtalk vote by default. The son of Risk Me has every chance at the weights and has at least shown himself to be in fair form on both turf and all-weather recently so should prove hard to beat from a favourable draw. Mystic Venture has not been seen since disappointing on the turf almost four months ago but has claims on earlier placed efforts here during the summer in better company and can't be dismissed. Zietzig and Secret Conquest are capable of going close but neither should prove good enough to trouble the selection on these terms.
