Pass The Time scored over hurdles at Taunton before landing a 2m handicap at Southwell on the Flat. He has an obvious chance though this could prove too short. Lac Sacre is a plating-class hurdler who is also likely to be outpaced but his stablemate TIME SQUARE, who has won three times on the track, could prove good enough in a poor contest. Low Key has shown very little since arriving from Germany where he won three times and Stag Hill is still 6lb higher than his last winning mark despite running poorly. White Diamond landed a handicap hurdle at Fakenham over Christmas before well beaten on her return to the Flat at Lingfield.
