British raider DOUGLAS TALKING lost little caste in defeat when runner-up in a valuable Aintree handicap a fortnight ago and, with the promise of even better to come from this bold-jumping 7-y-o over fences, he is taken to resume winning ways. Dinoblue is a much-respected main danger on the back of his Fairyhouse success, a race in which Whiskeywealth would've likely finished second but for falling at the final fence. The latter is an each-way player but The Folkes Tiara is third choice.
