Rated 86, BIG TIME MAYBE is clear at the weights as he drops in class. Tom Dascombe’s charge went close in a claimer at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start and is hard to oppose if running anywhere near his mark. Just Us Two is next best on these terms though has struggled in handicaps recently and still has plenty to find with the selection but it’s difficult to make a serious case for any of the remainder with Grand Acclaim perhaps best of them.
