The weights point to Only Time Will tell as having a great chance here and we will side with him at the main expense of Scotty's Future and Desert Lightning. The selection has been dropped 10lb since finishing a two length second to Donna's Double in selling company last time. He acts with cut in the ground and has his best chance for some time of landing the odds. Stablemate Scotty's Future looks like posing the biggest threat. Dandy Nicholls' eight-year-old stayed on well to win over a mile at Beverley on good to soft last week and is clearly in good heart, but he has plenty to find with his travelling companion at the weights and is opposed. Of the others Desert Lightning stands out as a challenger after finishing just ahead of the selection last time and on the same terms here it should again be close. But Only Time Will tell is on the way back and can come good this time.
