Boogie Time is on a roll and it would be no surprise to see him complete the four-timer, despite a penalty. However, Cairn Island ran well on the Rowley Mile here in the spring off a higher mark before failing to handle Chester and CAIRN GORM ran a cracking race in a higher grade last time at Ascot. The form of that contest has already been franked and Mick Channon’s colt would not be winning out of turn. Operatic and Liberated Lady aren’t out of this either.
