Formscan By Donal Murphy - While the forecast rain is a worry, it's difficult to look beyond the hat-trick seeking TALK IN THE PARK. He readily accounted for 19 rivals when last seen at Galway in July and while now on a career high mark of 126, he will be aided by the 7lb claim of Tom Harney. Peter Smithers also takes 7lb off on top-weight Happy Jacky, with this likeable 10-year-old the second choice. Successful three times from six starts this year, he is arguably in the form of his life at present. Handicap debutants Rosalys and Rocky's Diamond are of definite interest, while others for the shortlist are Beaufort Scale, Flash De Touzaine and admirable veteran Macgiloney.
