It's usually worth opposing Owner Occupier and Bon Spiel but Timmies Gone could improve a little for the fitting of blinkers and Oscar Baby's amateur rider's claim negates the penalty he accrued for scoring at Fakenham. Beattie Green still has time on his side and won a bumper here on his racecourse bow. He may not have got home over 2m7f at Stratford last time but we still prefer OVERDANTE. She's had her problems but ran a cracker after a long break when only beaten half-a-length at Plumpton earlier this month and must take all the beating if that hasn't taken too much out of her.
