A dire seller with few making appeal and TIME FOR OLD TIME is our recommendation ahead of Mamlakati and Robin The Till. Ian Wood's filly made her reappearance in a similar event at Lingfield but endured an incredibly troubled passage on the day. A winner at Brighton as a juvenile, she has fewer black marks from a formbook perspective and is nominated to minimum stakes. Mamlakati was rated in the 80's during her juvenile campaign. Regrettably, she appears not to have trained on so even a mark of 69 could be hopeful. Robin The Till was not disgraced in a maiden handicap at the course over six furlongs. The step back to five is probably in his interest. Ron Harris has to be respected with his runners at this level and he is represented by Billy Beetroot and Kinigi. The former had shown ability for Stuart Williams though has beaten just one horse home on his last two starts while the latter appears to demonstrate his better form on the fibresand at Southwell. Cocktail Party is tried in a tonguestrap for the first time while the remainder make very limited appeal indeed. Time For Old Time is selected in a race likely to make few headlines come Tuesday morning.
