Placed in all five starts to date, including when runner-up in soft ground at Beverley back in April, DECADENT TIMES may prove good enough at this level. Eva Gore has a second at Pontefract to her credit though she never troubled the winner and gives weight to Tough To Bear, who faded in the closing stages at Beverley on his latest start. Forster Square was a well-beaten third at Haydock last time but drops in class and looks best of the remainder.
