DIRECT TIMES only just failed to defy a 9lb rise in the weights for his earlier win here when second at Haydock last time. Lightly-raced, he can go one better in this. Slip Sliding Away also went close at Goodwood recently and had earlier finished ahead of several of these at Windsor while Extrasolar has the beating of the returning Amahoro on collateral form. Cincuenta Pasos only won a lower grade sprint at Salisbury last time and Vincentti looks stuck on his current mark having not won since 2012.
