Recent rain is a major plus for HOUR BY HOUR, who made all over 6f on soft ground at Hamilton 12 days ago. He’s gone up 7lb but a first try over this trip should prove ideal given he didn’t quite last home over a mile earlier. Grey's Monument looks a big danger running in his first handicap as the extra furlong will suit. Indian Dream won at Epsom in July and was just beaten at Haydock and York subsequently but has gone up a further 5lb, though probably holds Spirit In My Soul on the form book. Modern Dancer has already won over track and trip so can’t be ignored having finished second next time at Yarmouth. Out Of Shadows looks best of the rest.
