Time Square won on this card last year and is back on the same mark as when scoring here in June. He's preferred to Thane Of Cawdor over today's distance as the latter seems best at 1m4f. Minstrel Lad can be given a chance after making the frame at Wolverhampton last time and Petersboden also has place claims. HERBALIST has yet to win but ran well up against higher-rated horses in a claiming race here last time and he gets a speculative vote to finally open his account.
