This won’t take much winning and veteran Catchin Time is a consistent sort, though has been creeping up the handicap again despite not having won in almost two years. Time For Champers has ability but also a mind of his own and has been raised a hefty 12lb since finishing sixth in a Ffos Las maiden. VANDERBILT has disappointed the last twice but drops into this grade for the first time and has solid claims on a couple of runs at the end of last summer. Cornelius Socks is tried in a visor and has Rex Dingle’s claim in his favour so might be worth a market check.
