TIMOCRACY will have plenty of lead in the saddle but he's a consistent sort at this level and it would be no surprise to see him in the firing-line again here, especially as ground conditions will dictate whether recent Chepstow winner Corrib takes his chance. Ice Nelly receives weight all round and could be ready for this step up in trip, while fellow three-year-old Rosairlie should be capable of stepping up on what she's achieved so far. Noble Jack and Madame Excelerate both finished fourth on their latest start but Gallego may be best watched after a modest comeback run.
