Unfancied in the betting on his debut at Newmarket in September, WINGS OF TIME was well beaten behind Irish 2000 Guineas entry Skardu. Much better is expected from the recently gelded Godolphin representative at this level and he gets the vote. Reggae Runner and Solar Heights look likely improvers on the back of recent modest debut efforts while Perfect Grace ran better here on her introduction than she did at Lingfield last time. Golden Grenade is related to three winners and preferred to Atlantic City of the newcomers.
