Verdict

Point In Time usually runs his race and that was good enough to win over 1m4f here last month with previous winner Ilhabela Fact not far behind in third. Both can figure again while Unit of Assessment won at Lingfield back in February and will be sharper for a recent comeback run over 1m2f here. Lightening Dance ran well for second over track and trip on her all-weather debut and is one to consider but FLAMING MARVEL has the more scope. He made a belated seasonal debut at the track in September when handicapping for the first time and would have finished closer than fifth with a clear run while today's longer trip will also suit.
