A trappy contest rounds off the card and Sea Frolic, Tirailleur and Travelling Times are all sure to have their supporters but we will give the vote to Travelling Times. The selection has had a short break since his last run when he was a decent fourth behind Desert Lover. That was a better race than this and the three that finished in front of him are running on this card today. Therefore we should have a decent gauge to measure the form of that latest run but nonetheless he looks the percentage call. Sea Frolic and Tirraileur are closely-matched on their latest run on this track but that was a return to form for Sea Frolic and with that in mind he could be of interest if the market speaks in his favour. Inchdura was disappointing last time and will need to improve to get competitive here, and for the winner we will stick with Travelling Times.
