THE TIMEFORM VIEW LONG SHOT arrives after 2 good efforts over 7f at Redcar and the drop back to a sprint trip should suit the Tim Easterbytrained gelding, so he gets the verdict over Battenburg Belle, who may have to settle for the runner-up spot for the fourth start in a row.

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair maiden at best for Harry Eustace last year, but out of sorts in the autumn and poor form over hurdles on first 3 starts for current yard. Fared no better back on the Flat when tailed off at Ripon (1 1/4m) 5 weeks ago TFR##!!! BHA65

PROBABLE S.P.’s 11-10 Valley of Flowers (IRE), 13-8 Treasure Islands (GB), 6-1 Arrange (IRE), 28-1 Twilight Safari (GB)

THE TIMEFORM VIEW Preference is for ARRANGE who shaped encouragingly in a well-contested race at Thirsk last month. Having dropped further in the weights since, she could be ready to get back to winning ways in this grade, though Valley of Flowers isn’t taken lightly after her promising second at the same Thirsk meeting.
