He can see off the challenge of Coconut Bay, who bounced back to her best at Catterick on her latest outing, with Woodrafff also in the mix.

Conjecture sets the standard (fair form) having filled the runner up spot on all 5 starts to date and she can provide chief resistance

THE TIMEFORM VIEW Having ran particularly well when fourth in a strong affair at York on his penultimate start, ROUSING ENCORE is probably best not judged too harshly on his subsequent run when midfield in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon. He’s clearly still on an exploitable mark and could bounce straight back. It Just Takes Time, Secret Guest and Sir Garfield are a trio of others to consider, whilst last year’s winner Tinto shouldn’t be underestimated either

THE TIMEFORM VIEW CROCUS TIME quickly got back on track when finishing third in a similar event over C&D on her latest outing, placing for the third time in as many visits to this track, and she can get off the mark as she makes only her fourth start for current yard. Last-time-out winner Sanbona could be the main danger, with Superior Council also considered.
