Verdict

Jaunty Times did not seem to get home over three miles at Haydock last time and looks worth another chance in this moderate company where the main threats look to be Heir To Be and Idiome. The last mentioned has only had the two starts this term and is entitled to strip fitter for those so cannot be discounted. Devito has ground conditions to suit but probably needs some help from the handicapper, while Fred's In The Know belied odds of 100/1 when chasing home Euro American in a similar contest under testing conditions at Newcastle earlier this month and has to be respected off just a 2lb higher mark. Abzuson has claims on his best but has given little cause for optimism of late and of greater interest is Heir To Be, who ran better at Market Rasen last time. Jaunty Times has been in good form of late though and is taken to make the most of the return to 2m4f.
