Quiet Times was a beaten favourite last time but can make amends here at the main expense of Magic Amour and Blythe Spirit. The selection was slowly away at Southwell on Monday but he was staying-on powerfully at the finish and from a decent draw he is given a chance to make amends on the track where he has recorded his last two wins. Magic Amour will be the main danger if she takes her chance here, but much will depend on how she comes out of her race here on Friday. However, she is in good form and she should run well even though she is not ideally drawn. Blythe Spirit was disappointing at Lingfield last time but he is more at home on this surface and he has to be on the shortlist from a good draw. El Potro has the plum draw and he has not been beaten far on each of his last two starts, so he should go well at a price but Quiet Times sets the benchmark for the rest in this claimer and gets the vote.
