Verdict
TICKET TO ALASKA handled the step up to a mile back on Turf at Doncaster and it’s about time he was getting his head in front. Passing Time promises to do better now handicapping but Man Made Of Smoke is 0-7 on this surface and having a 24th career start. Racing Demon is proving expensive to follow and none of the others make much appeal.
