Time Share might be able to go well in a tricky opener, with Suhayl Star and Gimme Some Lovin also short listed. Gimme Some Lovin put up an improved effort when second off a mark of 56 at Lingfield last time and has to be respected based on that effort. Her draw could have been kinder, though. Early Promise holds claims if recapturing his April/May form and Half A Tsar, who is only lightly raced, certainly showed some promise last-time out and could go well on his all-weather debut. Suhayl Star is not without a chance if recapturing his spring form and he races on the all-weather for the first time since then. Tenancy has quickly dropped to a rating from which he ought to be competitive, and Time Share, who is a course and distance claiming winner, returns to Wolverhampton for the first time since that win. Of the others, back at his favoured trip, Royal Envoy might go well and it is curious to see Anne Bonney dropped in trip today and the market might provide you with some guidance there. For the selection, though, we will stick with Time Share.
