Hayley Cropper has won each of her last two starts for David Nicholls but those victories here and at Thirsk were in a claimer and a seller respectively and she may struggle to complete a hat-trick in the company of Majestic Myles and MAPPIN TIME, with the latter looking the one to beat. The selection was not disgraced when highly tried in a novice stakes race at Thirsk recently and judged by that run and his earlier victory in a Bath maiden, Tim Easterby's colt looks worth siding with. Ben Haslam's Azzurra Du Caprio looks to be going the right way, while Tom Dascombe's Coconut Ice has shown a consistent level of form and should be thereabouts again. Jeremy Glover's Sacrosanctus probably has too much weight for what he has achieved and of more interest may be Richard Fahey's lightly raced Majestic Myles. Mappin Time has an obvious chance though and he can give weight and a beating to his rivals.
