Verdict

A modest contest in which Ancient Times would be the one if only able to rediscover some of the excellent handicap form displayed in the early months of this year. The market may well prove the best guide to his chances after a quartet of disappointing runs but PAGHAM BELLE is only put forth as a hopeful alternative. Nigel Hawke's mare was much improved last time on heavy ground when runner-up to Bathwick Junior at Chepstow and therefore should have no issues with forecast conditions. That latest run represented a dramatic improvement on previous efforts and hopefully she has now turned a corner and can progress again. A similar effort off a 3lb higher mark would probably suffice. Whispering Harry cannot be ruled out after his comfortable Stratford victory and must make the shortlist but has yet to encounter the likely soft ground. He'll go close if doing so.
