None of these inspire much confidence and though Two Turtle Doves has been holding her form well over 5f on the turf, she looks too high in the weights now. The last comment also applies to Mary's Pet, but Irish import Qubuh showed a bit more over 7f at Redcar last time. The temperamental Timeteam has claims if he consents to take part, but a tentative vote goes to INSOLENCEOFOFFICE as he returned to winning ways at Redcar last month and won twice off higher marks at this track as a two-year-old.
