This is much tougher than the race Dame Nellie won at Lingfield last time and Point In Time was last seen in action in May when third at Leicester. She finished in front of Sailing Home on that occasion and the latter has only her second start in a handicap today but Floria Tosca was a disappointment here a fortnight ago. BORN TO SPEND has the more recent form at Leicester having finished fourth on her belated seasonal debut. Ian Williams’ filly should be sharper for the outing and with Jane Elliott taking 3lb off her back today, she may well come out best.
