Verdict

Most of these can be given a chance in a tight contest. Stoical Patient is upped 10lb for winning at Plumpton and Spiritofchartwell has been raised 8lb for September’s success over track and trip. Lined With Silver drops back in trip after losing a match at Stratford while Barney From Tyanee was placed in a novices’ handicap at Plumpton recently. But GIVE HIM TIME was second in a higher grade chase at Fontwell on his latest start and Nick Gifford’s charge is taken to make a successful comeback racing off the same mark today.
