Verdict
TIMOSHENKO’s dam won over 2m so a further step up in trip shouldn’t be a problem for Sir Mark Prescott’s upwardly mobile three-year-old, who will likely be a short price to complete the four-timer. Ochos Rios was only beaten half-a-length in a higher grade at Newbury last time but he has a modest strike-rate and may be a couple of pounds too high. Lingfield third Clearance has each-way claims again and Bumble Bay could also figure among the places. Aristocracy was rated a pound higher than when fourth in this last year but hasn’t raced since winning over hurdles in September.
