Plenty of these arrive in good form including TIME SQUARE, who gained his fifth victory on the track early this month and has only been raised 3lb so looks the one to be on. What A Dandy finally got off the mark over a mile here last month after a narrow defeat over this trip at Lingfield and he's another to be leniently treated. Dream Ruler made a successful debut here in March and his only subsequent start was here in August where he stayed on over that mile. Bridge That Gap is inconsistent but capable of a big run at his best but The Gay Cavalier was beaten in a four-horse affair at Lingfield last time. Young Dottie was gaining her fifth all-weather victory when defying a huge SP and staying on late to catch Santadelacruze at Lingfield and is definitely on the short-list.
