BIRD'S THE WORD (3) finished a 5 length seventh when resuming last start over 6f at Ascot. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Winning chance. TALK IT UP (2) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish sixth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 6f at Ascot. Will be on the speed in transit and is expected to take some running down. MEN'S CLUB (1) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest seventh at this track over 6½f. Top-three chance on best figures. MAGNIFORCE (4) was beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth over 6½f at this track at his latest appearance. The engagement of Jade Mc Naught is a positive move. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
