Verdict

Abracadabra Sivola came back to form at Kempton but that was a weak affair. Potters Legend had just hit the front when coming down at the last at Fakenham. The second at the time also fell at the final obstacle and that appeared to leave the way clear for a toiling What Happens Now but he was overhauled up the straight, though will strip fitter here. Private Malone is knocking on the door but had had plenty of chances and may find this too far. Horatio Hornblower is also in good form but this is a step up for Doncaster scorer Shanroe In Milan and he’s not as well treated as stable companion Killala Quay. Wicked Willy could figure if in the mood while Delusionofgrandeur stays well but, providing the aids work a second time, there should be more to come from Uttoxeter winner BEHIND TIME now he’s got his head in front.
