Verdict

TIME THIEF appeared to have a bit up his sleeve when making a winning start to his career at Yarmouth and is taken to defy a penalty. The main threat may come from Feelin' Free, who remains open to improvement and any easing of the ground could suit given her Ffos Las debut second came on soft.

5	Made a promising start under considerate handling when second of 8 in maiden at Ffos Las (1¼m, soft) in June. Not quite in the same form at Kempton 2 months later but still looked to be learning the ropes and worth another chance to show she's capable of better. 2nd Pick 5 Feelin' Free Jockey: Connor Beasley Trainer: Jack Jones J: Connor Beasley T: Jack Jones	99	-	-	-	23%
