Time Travel has run poorly on the flat and over hurdles since returning to action with a victory over 1m4f here. MON CHAMPION finished a long way behind Time Travel here but showed the benefit of the run when beating a big field over 1m1f at Gowran and this should prove his optimum trip. Grantsville is only 4lbs higher than when scoring here in September and ran well over timber at Tipperary a couple of weeks ago but Space Race is 11lbs higher than when scoring here in November and may be in the grip of the handicapper.
