TIMEFORM VIEW Took advantage of a much-reduced mark having his first start in veterans’ company at this C&D (soft) in February. Looked rusty after 6 months off when pulled up at Sedgefield in October, but he needs to leave his recent run well behind. TFR###!! BHA102

Stewards Note:
PRESENTANDCOUNTING: Following its run on 27/10/2024 it was reported that the horse had an irregular heartbeat.
THE TIMEFORM VIEW JUST LOOSE CHANGE proved a different proposition to on chasing debut when successful at Huntingdon last time, suited by the step up in trip, and he can build on that effort to follow up. The biggest threat could come from Presentandcounting, who has now dropped to 13lb below his last winning mark.
