Most of these can be given a chance, including QUALITY TIME (NAP). The latter finished third to subsequent Group 3 winner Marenko in a conditions race at Kempton on her return and Kevin Stott’s 3lb allowance further helps her cause. Carrington also sports the Godolphin colours and was placed in this grade over track and trip in September while Another Touch represents last year’s winning yard and is preferred to stablemate Young John. Atlantic Sun has plenty of scope now handicapping but Wolverhampton winner Dream Mover is upped in class and Candelisa’s recent second came in testing ground over 6f at Pontefract.
