Formscan  - PEP TALKING hasn't finished outside the top two in any of his last four starts, most recently taking the silver medal home at Huntingdon, and he goes off an unchanged mark. Billy Aprahamian's seven-year-old drops in grade and could take full advantage. Pooroldmackley was well beaten in third at Newton Abbot last month, but is 1lb lower and may get closer. Stardhem looks best of the rest.
