In depth
Verdict
The Drunken Dr has been badly out of form since scoring at Wolverhampton in October but Time Travel hasn't had much racing since his victory on the same track a year ago and hasn't been running as badly as his form figures suggest. SKY PILOT stays much further than this as he showed when just touched off in a 2m6f event over hurdles at Downpatrick on Wednesday and hopefully he'll get a strong enough pace to make his stamina count. He gets the vote in a poor contest where Daytime Dreamer is likely to be well supported after a couple of fair runs recently. Dancing On Turf has shown very little but wouldn't still be with this yard unless there was a belief there's better to come.
