Verdict

Time To Think hasn't done a lot wrong so far this season but this trip has proved beyond her in the past. Near The Water is starting to look well handicapped but Pete The Feat is likely to find one or two too good at the weights again and Hereford second Guydus is carrying 7lb more than her allotted mark. Run To Fly rattled up a four-timer before Christmas but was well beaten off this mark at Fontwell on Boxing Day and has to give 4lb here to TARQUINIUS. Now 23lb lower than when last successful, Charlie Mann's grey came back to form when second at Plumpton last month and should take all the beating with a repeat of that form.
