Verdict

More Time Tim opened his account on the Polytrack at the first time of asking when successful at Lingfield last week and Jim Boyle's gelding has every chance but may struggle to defy the 6lb penalty for that success and a better bet looks to be BOLD CROSS, who gets the verdict ahead of Luck Will Come. Hugh Collingridge's mare lost no caste in defeat when a close fourth behind Charlevoix at Yarmouth last month on her first outing since October and she has every chance if able to build on that effort. Arthur's Edge has been off the track for a year and looks too high in the weights now following his win at Wolverhampton in April last season, while Justcallmehandsome is hard to recommend on recent form. Don Cantillon's Im Ova Ere Dad made a highly satisfactory reappearance at Windsor last month and he has to be respected but it is hard to get away from Bold Cross, who is only 4lbs higher than when scoring at Chepstow earlier this month and he is taken to follow up.
