Lost In Time failed to land the odds at Epsom after winning at Salisbury and is 2lb higher here. He is also closely matched with Hubert on the form book. Plymouth Rock won over this trip at Thirsk last month but nothing went right over a mile at Ayr two weeks later. He has cheekpieces on here and shouldn’t be written off just yet. OVERWRITE (NAP) left a modest debut well behind when just caught at Chester then hosed up in a novice auction event at Brighton. Mark Johnston’s colt is improving fast and looks the pick of the weights here.
