      Verdict

      TIME'S ARROW has had all three starts to date on Polytrack and was odds-on when runner-up at Lingfield but the lack of credible opposition suggests he shouldn't be unduly troubled. Gloriosus has a smart pedigree but hasn't shown much while Doctor Cross hasn't run since September but hasn't been beaten far in any of his races. Snow Blaze hails from a yard in form and wouldn't need to be a world-beater to get into the frame.
