Verdict
TOP POCKET is one of several with claims in what looks something of a lottery. He went close over track and trip last time and gets a tentative vote to reverse running with the winner Star Links on better terms. Time Square has subsequently beaten the latter over track and trip and can also confirm running with Solveig's Song while Understory has been thereabouts of late and can figure again. Clock On Tom found only one too good at Chelmsford recently and Fairy Mist won over a mile here earlier so the latter pair are others to consider.
