Verdict

TIMOCRACY is a winning machine in this grade and can see off Sunset Boulevard and Rapid City (again). Andy Haynes' son of Cape Cross has won his last four and holds many of this field on those wins which have come at a variety of tracks, including two here. He goes without the visor that he sported last time but that isn't a worry and he should give backers another good run for their money. Rapid City got to within a nose of him last time and on the same terms is respected, whilst Sunset Boulevard runs the track well but has several lengths to find today. Lytham is a course winner although his best efforts have come at Kempton, bumper recruit Beck's Bolero is a fascinating contender for Jamie Osborne and he needs a market check, whilst Cactus King's run behind Sedgewick has been franked and he cannot be ignored. This isn't straightforward but Timocracy can complete the five-timer.
