Star Time can land this lady riders' selling contest at the expense of Windy Spirit, Temper Lad and Bonny Boy. Star Time jumped a lot better than usual when finally losing his maiden tag at the 33rd time of asking at Uttoxeter 11 days ago, and although he had hardly been reliable up to that point, is worth chancing to follow up, with the extra distance not seen as a problem. Windy Spirit has to give weight away all round but has the assistance of the vastly experienced Polly Gundry, while Temper Lad just failed to get up at Exeter last time under today's pilot Sarah Gaisford and will be expected to take a hand as well. Bonny Boy has shaped fairly well despite his advancing years and makes most appeal of the rest, but now that Star Time has found the winning thread he can be followed.
