STRONG PURSUIT (nap) looked a cracking prospect when making a winning debut over fences at Newbury early last season.
He’s not run since but that doesn’t bother me with in-form Philip Hobbs doing the training.
I reckon he’ll make up for the lost time today.
TOP ROCK TALULA (4.50 Lingfield, nb) won well at Kempton last month.
The form of that race has worked out well and she had to work too hard from a wide draw when upped to 2m last time out.
She’ll have no worries on that score today.

NB – Top Rock Talula, 4.50 Lingfield: Sixth of 14 at 11-4fav on her latest outing here over 2m last month.
TREBLE – Pistol Whipped, 2.45 Fakenham: Third of 20 behind Rathhill at 8-1 on his hurdling debut at Newbury in December last year.
PISTOL WHIPPED (2.45 Fakenham, treble) made a smart hurdles debut when third in a hot Newbury contest.
He’ll like today’s longer trip.
