TIMOCRACY's six wins last year all came in sellers but he stepped out of that grade to land a handicap at Brighton over a shorter trip last week and Louis-Phillipe Beuzelin's claim partly negates his penalty. These look a modest bunch and it would be no surprise if the top weight proved good enough again. Boa did well to collar Buddy Holly off the back of a long absence at Leicester and is an obvious danger if reproducing that effort here while Court Wing probably needed her run at Wolverhampton last month. Doncaster fifth James Pollard was third over hurdles at Stratford subsequently and could also play a part.
