Whatalove was second twice at Chepstow in June but has been racing over longer trips. Veteran Time Medicean hasn’t won since 2014 but has been running well lately in this sort of company and holds Lucky Di on the form book. CRUISE TOTHELIMIT is not easy to catch right but he still has the ability to win a race like this if in the mood and the booking of the country’s leading amateur suggests connections mean business today.
