Not a race that will take much winning and this appears a good opportunity for College Time to open his account at the chief expense of Kamenka, Bookiesindexdotcom and Masafi. Paul Blockley has his team in good form again after a spell in the doldrums and the selection put up an excellent performance on his all-weather debut at Southwell last month. The gelded son of Danetime was narrowly denied by a strongly fancied odds-on shot at the midlands venue and faces nothing of similar calibre here so should take the beating. Kamenka has the best turf form on offer having finished a creditable fourth in a valuable sales race at Newmarket last month but her lack of experience on an artificial surface may count against her on this occasion. Bookiesindexdotcom has ben knocking on he door in similar company of late but his overall form leaves him with something to find while Masafi showed little on his debut but may be capable of better and it would be unwise to dismiss Sir Mark Prescott's colt out of hand.
