No Time gets the call here ahead of Zarzu in a competitive sprint. Running through the field. Multiple winner Dancing Mystery is rated four-pounds higher than for his narrow Southwell win. Justalord is seven-pounds higher than for his course and distance win last time, although No Time, beaten a head there, is one-pound better off today. Trinculo is back to the mark that saw him win at Southwell in November but was beaten by a number of these when behind Justalord here last time. Zarzu is closely weighted with Justalord based on their course and distance runs last time but finished like a train that day so might get his revenge. Palawan was a further three-and-a-half lengths behind on that occasion and is six pounds better off with Justalord and one-pound better off with Zarzu. Hurricane Coast has taken a jump in the ratings courtesy of four wins in January. Type One has won four of his last eight races and is the type to run well from his current mark despite being well beaten in a good event last time. Chico Guapo is blessed with a lot of natural speed and, despite being nine-pounds higher than for his sole all-weather win - which came over course and distance - he could still go well. Quite a competitive race, but we'll stick with No Time.
