Tide Of Time is one of several course and distance winners in the line-up and, though 7lb higher than for his last victory, must have a chance of returning to winning ways. However, he finished just behind MIACOMET when they occupied the places behind the prolific A Step Too Far here a month ago and it's time Jack Davison's filly was scoring again. Boughtinthedark completed a double here in mid-summer but is 13lb higher than her last victory while Inflection Point is another who saw the back of A Step Too Far at the Curragh 10 days ago, though ran better than his finishing position indicates. Illetas won a maiden here in June but was well beaten in a Curragh handicap the following month
