      Verdict

      TIMETODOCK has been climbing the weights but only gave best inside the final furlong against older horses last time and is almost certain to run his race again. Good Answer makes his handicap debut having got off the mark at Bath and Melrose Way is similarly unexposed, though having a first try over the minimum trip. Fairy Stories is still 9lb higher than for her only win at Nottingham in June and Vee Man Ten disappointed at Haydock last month when favourite.
