This is a slight drop in grade for Western Sunrise but she’s only won a maiden so far and that was 21 months ago. Yasir arrives in decent form but is probably high enough in the weights now. Tara Well may be improving but is now 0-11 and Northandsouth hasn’t raced since May and has switched stables since. TIME AND AGAIN has not won in 19 career starts but he’s gone close a few times and only weakened at the last at Fontwell last month – Tim Vaughan’s charge can’t drop much lower in the weights.
