The Ducking Stool has been ultra-consistent on Turf but she's only managed one place in eight previous starts on the all-weather, which is a worry. Qibtee has claims on placed efforts at Haydock and Pontefract in the summer while Cabuchon has gone close on a couple of occasions at Bath this year and Harry Bannister is probably a decent jockey booking. Anything partnered by Simon walker in races like this deserves the utmost respect and TIME SQUARE is no exception. Tony Carroll's seven-year-old has been dropped a further pound since his latest fourth at Nottingham and is preferred to a rejuvenated Salient and Greeleys Love.
