San Quentin has rattled up a hat-trick at Wolverhampton in recent weeks. He's only been raised a further 5lb so isn't out of this if handling the switch back to Polytrack. King Olav was third over a longer trip at Chelmsford in September but Scots Fern could have stamina issues having disappointed on her only previous try over a mile and on her latest start at Bath. Candyman Can has his first run since March and can also take a fierce hold so we'll take a chance on OUR TIME WILL COME, who never figured in an amateurs' race at Doncaster last month but should benefit from Philip Makin's stronger handling here and had run well at Ayr the time before.
