Verdict
Good Time Ahead took advantage of a slide down the handicap to win at Wolverhampton but has gone straight back up the weights to the tune of 8lb. Critical Thinking has been thereabouts in maiden and plating company and Life Won't Wait may do better now handicapping for the first time but another chance goes to BAZWIND. He’s been placed in similar company the last twice, including when third behind a couple of subsequent winners over track and trip last month, and David Evans’ charge should go close on that form.
