Time To Regret gets the vote here with Turn Me On and Mick Is Back rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating General Feeling. Granted this is tougher but he is progressive and in form and he is taken to win again. Turn Me On is well weighted on his best form and with his yard back amongst the winners he could go well at a price. Mick is Back is another worthy of respect on his latest fourth behind Drawn Gold but consistency is not his strong point. Justcallmehandsome is another that is in form but his best efforts have come over a longer trip and he is taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder Smokin Joe looks sure to run his race but is hard to win with and for the winner we return to Time To Regret.
