Don't Blame Me reverts to Turf after completing a double at Kempton and finishing a close second at Lingfield though he's up another 2lb. Alkhor won a couple of races at Lingfield but has looked in the handicapper's grip in his latest starts but TIME TO EXCEED looks a very progressive type who can go in again after Ryan Moore steered him to a comfortable victory at Leicester. Sword Exceed went up 9lb after scoring at Lingfield but was unlucky in-running in a better race on a return visit so should go well while Simon Dow doesn't waste entries and Sparkalot made much of the running and stayed on strongly for his maiden victory at Kempton.
