Talk To The Man
Selected at:
6/4
Talk To The Man was an impressive winner on his first start over hurdles at Taunton earlier this month and the front two were a distance clear of the rest that day. He’s entitled to improve for the run and that latest performance suggests the gelding is a potentially smart prospect.
