Inkberrow Rose just got the better of Azione over C&D three weeks ago. They are closely matched here with the latter slightly better off at the weights. The Red Laird needed the 3m1f trip at Warwick to open his account over timber but was well beaten off a higher mark last time, while Corlande has done most of his winning over fences. TIMETORING bounced back to form when second to Sherwani Wolf at Chepstow recently. This looks easier and, given his two previous victories over timber were on heavy ground, he gets the vote to go one better here.
