Verdict
Timeforatune defends an unbeaten record but has had little to spare the last twice and carries a small penalty in this. Authorised Speed finished ahead of Top Dog and Dusky Days at Ascot but Emma Lavelle’s charge was too keen that day and could come out on top this time if settling better. The four-year-old MAMOON STAR was staying on strongly over 1m6f at Cheltenham last time so the extra yardage here should suit. He’s preferred to stablemate Hullnback and more recent winners Libberty Hunter and Ballyglass.
