If Ransom O War takes to this surface he will be very hard to beat. Although beaten 8 lengths at Yarmouth last time out the race was run at a true pace and the form has worked out well. He is the TEAMtalk selection. Platinum Charger will have his supporters following his recent win at Wolverhampton plus the fact he has run well here before while there was much to like about the way Town Called Malice won at Wolverhampton 10 days ago. He seems to have blossomed since joining up with Nick Littmoden. Watch out for any market moves for the once-raced Karyon. He needs to improve to play a major role here but he is open to it. The rest look out of their depth even at this level.
