Formscan - Pep Talking has occupied the runner-up berth in each of his last two appearances and might fill that spot again, but this time behind THEONLYWAYISWESSEX. Alan King's charge was victorious over this distance at Warwick on his most recent start and if in similar form, he will prove a tough nut to crack. Le Gentleman is in good heart at present and isn't out of this either.
