PEACE IN OUR TIME has been threatening to open his account and had Dubai Emerald behind when third at Kempton earlier this month. He's subsequently finished runner-up at this track and the lightly-raced four-year-old gets the vote to go one better. Liberty Love finished ahead of Crimson Monarch here before going very close at Lingfield and is not without a chance and Rasteau could figure stepping up in trip.
