MOVE IN TIME (NAP) is the highest rated of these and can win this for a second year running. David O'Meara's sprinter went on to land a Group 3 on very soft ground at Longchamp and this is a lot easier than subsequent tests. Muhadathat is making her seasonal reappearance but is getting plenty of weight from her old rivals. Monsieur Joe is useful on his day and Line Of Reason is the only one of these to have won a race in 2016, though the Beverley scorer finished behind the selection in the Palace House at Newmarket in April.
