Silver Linnet seems best when racing up with the pace as when making all at Kempton last week. She'll have to get into top gear pretty early from a wide draw today, however, and GOOD TIMIN' is taken to reverse recent running. He was beaten only a length by the latter at Kempton and is now 13lb lower than October's original handicap mark. Sally's Swansong should also go well on her comeback having scored over C&D last March, but Mosa Mine is another who will need things to go her way from today's high draw.
