Verdict

ITSTIMEFORAPINT (NAP) won this marathon back in 2016 and arrives in good form having scored at Bangor last month when Millicent Silver was pulled-up. He should make another bold bid today ahead of Finaghy Ayr, a runner-up at Ayr the last twice now. Kilcullen Flem won over these fences in October but lost a couple shoes on his reappearance and failed to complete while Point The Way has struggled since scoring at Kelso last year but has slipped back down the weights and Portrait King drops in class.
