Verdict

This is not the easiest of races to predict, but Time N Time Again looks to have a good draw in stall 13 and is just preferred to Tancred Times, Sir Desmond and last year's winner, Regal Song. He won this race last year off a 7lbs higher mark. There's not been much to shout about recently but rain will help and a return to form would not be a total surprise. His stablemate Karminskey Park also holds each-way claims, as does Soba Jones and Kings Ballet. Front-runner Soaked is likely to run out of steam up the hill, while hold-up performer Sir Desmond should have the race run to suit and will relish any more rain that falls. The booking of Kieren Fallon is a plus, but he appears to have been done no favours by the draw. Tancred Times is tough and reasonably treated on his current mark. He would have a fair chance if the ground stayed dry, but we'll side with Eric Alston's Time N Time Again, who came back to form when third at Chester recently and has won over this course and distance in the past.
