Verdict
Timing showed improved form when stepped up in trip over this course and distance last time out when winning with more in hand than the winning margin suggests and now they have found his trip he is confidently expected to follow up. Scotty's Future was well backed at Thirsk on Monday but again disappointed and he does not look one to place to much faith in . Clarinch Claymore has been running well without winning of late and he has been running as if in the handicappers grip. Perestroika is well in on his best form and the stable has been having a few winners of late and he could go well at a fair price. Almost Twilight has also been in good form of late but was slightly disappointing last time out.
