Verdict
MARTINI TIME only scored by a neck at Hamilton three weeks ago but it was five lengths back to the third. She is just preferred to Roaring Forties, a runner-up at Ripon on his latest start. Edgeoftheforest landed a seller at Thirsk recently but this is tougher while Hillside Dream finished ahead of Stars N Angels when fourth at Newmarket but disappointed at Doncaster last time. Il Piccolo Grande was beaten only a length on the all-weather a fortnight ago and can figure again.
