Verdict

TIME POWER (5) resumes here but the form he showed when last in work was good enough for a race of this calibre. Gets the services of gun hoop Wiggins in the irons and only needs some luck navigating from the sticky alley to be playing a major role in the outcome. AMBER AFFAIR (6) was just behind the placings in two runs before the spell and gets some weight relief with the 4lbs claim. Looms as the main danger. VALADORE (10) was well in the betting when having the first run for the new stable but just missed the frame on that occasion. Where there's smoke there's fire and can feature in the finish. SHEZA BARBAROSSA (9) is first-up here but has placed when fresh and looks one for the exotics players. WANTS TO TANGO (12) is facing the starter for the first time and a watch on betting is advised.
