Verdict

TIME’S EYE will be sharper for last month’s reappearance at Newmarket and today’s softer going will suit Ralph Beckett’s filly as she makes her handicap debut. Chelmsford winner Puntarelle also makes her handicap bow along with Way To Amarillo, who landed a conditions' race in France at the end of last year, while Silver Nightfall has been raised 4lb for winning at Newcastle and is preferred to stablemate Margaret's Fuchsia.
