THE TIMEFORM VIEW GONE IN SIXTY is only 2lb higher than when a wide-margin winner of this race 12 months ago, and while the run of the race is unlikely to be as favourable this time, he’s still fancied to repeat the feat for an in-form Alex Hales stable. Market House is fairly solid at this level and should be thereabouts.
