On Time suddenly bounced right back to form over 3m2f this month in some style and has a clear shout if backing that improvement up. Nevertheless, he's been hit with an 8lb rise and drops nearly half a mile in trip. He's not the easiest to assess. Boagrius must be taken seriously as he's tumbling down the weights in 2022 but returns from wind surgery and connections also reach for a first-time tongue tie and blinkers in an attempt to arrest the current downturn in form. It's not the strongest of races and he's be player if recapturing some form. Course and distance winner Flying Verse is also back after a wind op, but CARDBOARD GANGSTER (NAP) has taken to fences well the last twice and will be all the better for going back up in trip after a good second here last time over shorter.
