Toot Sweet was let down by her jumping when returning from an absence at Huntingdon but is capable of better and is one of several decent rides today for Richard Johnson. Speed Check had little to beat at Sedgefield last week but escapes a penalty for that success and won over this track and trip in July while Dazzling Rita has been placed in her last three starts over longer distances. THE RIGHT TIME looks a hard ride but may well have won over course and distance in August, when Flashy Star was only fourth, had she taken the last in her stride. Her temperament is more of a worry than a 4lb rise in the weights and she'll be thereabouts if in the mood.
