Time To Reflect looks the part here, and should make fitness tell over both Forever Dream and Moscow Fields. Martin Pipe's four-year-old looked a useful prospect when making his bumper debut at Plumpton a winning one, and after a fine third to the useful Widemouth Bay at Exeter, opened his account over timber at Chepstow 11 days ago. The decision to put him up to three miles was nearly the wrong one though, as he was definitely tiring close home. So, the drop back to the minimum will be in his favour this time at least and he is a confident pick. Forever Dream landed a Wincanton bumper in March, putting his experience in that sphere to good use, and is sure to have been well schooled. He is likely to need the run though, as is Moscow Fields who made a pleasing introduction at Newbury in March. Henrietta Knight's charge may find the ground a bit lively here, but is well-bred for the game and is one to note as the season goes on. On this occasion though, Time To Reflect should prove to have too much savvy under Tony McCoy.
