Time N Time Again can get the better of Hurricane Coast, with Sundried Tomato, Gilded Cove and Rafters Music just three more live dangers. Nothing stands out from the rest here, but Time N Time Again has been quite consistent and can make a bold bid to land the spoils after being a beaten favourite over the course and distance a fortnight ago. Eric Alston's charge finished well up the inside that day, but had a bit to do. If Jimmy Quinn can keep him closer to the pace then he will go close, but he is handicapped up to his best and so cannot be considered a good thing. He does though get a pound from Hurricane Coast who has been one to follow on the all-weather and has the assistance of Johnny Murtagh today. Sundried Tomato is a course and distance scorer along with Gilded Cove who has been placed on his last two starts. Blue Knight meanwhile was having his first outing since July when a running on second to Maktavish over five furlongs at Southwell 17 days ago. The step up in trip will suit him, and he makes some each-way appeal as well. In a hard one to call, a tentative vote goes to Time N Time Again.
