Verdict

Time To Reflect bounced back to winning ways last time and can get the better of King's Bounty and Harben. Richard Guest's gelding beat Kelantan in great style, having travelled strongly, off the pace most of the way, he went to the front full of running and quickly swept clear in the straight. He isn't the most consistent of performers but a repeat of that effort would easily be good enough here. King's Bounty was well beaten by subsequent winner Devils Run at Wetherby last time, but did have some decent performers behind and should be heading for some place money once again. Harben is still a maiden but went very close last time behind Ojay's Alibi at Uttoxeter, he looks on a nice weight today and can go close under Timmy Murphy. Powder Creek can also make his presence felt despite top-weight, but if in the same mood as last time, Time To Reflect will be vary hard to beat
