Verdict
Oasis Fantasy has spent all season trying to get his head in front with a series of decent efforts. Indeed he hasn't scored since the spring of 2016 and now steps up to 1m6f in an attempt to break the spell. He should go close if staying. However, JUST IN TIME has no stamina worries and comes here nice and fresh after just three starts this term and is taken to notch a second success of the season. He has proved progressive throughout his career and may well have more to come. Dell' Arca is far better known as a hurdler but is 2-5 on the Flat and his recent Newbury success confirmed he's one to take seriously on the level. He's up an acceptable 4lb and completes the shortlist.
