Tin Town Boy is the only course and distance winner in the line-up but that was at this fixture in 2008. MAGNOLIA RIDGE had little to beat at Tipperary last month but did it so easily that this will have been immediately on the agenda and he should add to his trainer's incredible tally at the meeting. Time To Work won over hurdles at Downpatrick last month and should be capable of a higher rating than 80 on the Flat so he's a threat while Beyond Berlin ran well for a long way here on Wednesday and could get much closer with professional handling. Face Value didn't have much chance against the well handicapped Busted Tycoon here on Tuesday but that was still a good run and he can get into the argument.
