        Verdict

        TIME TO PLAY is the form pick to land the opener at the expense of Sir Ike and Kara Tau. The selection has shown form in all four of his maiden races to date and connections have picked what looks like one of his easiest opportunities to date. If he can perform to his best once again he should be more than capable of breaking his maiden tag this time around. Sir Ike is still winless after nine attempts and although he had shown a decent level of ability in similar races this autumn he did disappoint last time out when finishing last of thirteen at Wolverhampton earlier in the month and for that reason he should be treated with some caution. Kara Tau is tried in blinkers for the first time after failing to trouble the judge in three prior attempts and any market support should be noted. But for the winner we return to Time To Play.
