Verdict
Making Time's only moderate run came in a Naas Group 3 and it will be a surprise if she isn't in contention. Alpha Cephei has had both starts here, running well over a mile last time, while little went right for Romford at Galway after an encouraging start at Navan back in May. OCEAN ODYSSEY is a half-brother to four winners and might be good enough to make a successful debut though Ciao For Now looks well bought at 13,000gns and, like With Annie Luck, is in here with a nice racing weight.
