Verdict

Wide-open looking contest where most of the pace appears to be from stall 12 and higher. The initial pace of Time Of Time may give a handy pull into the race for stalking and closing types the likes of Aurora Eclipse in a first-time visor, the solid and consistent, Aspen Belle and the Denis Hogan-trained, MAKE A CHALLENGE a winner at this track over 6f last month. Cityman, Verhoyen, Angelic Light, British raider Only Spoofing and Aleef with all be around the pace and should not be underestimated.
