Verdict

Howman has been gelded since last in action in August but is only 2lb higher than when scoring at Yarmouth earlier. Anythingtoday posted a better effort when stepped up to 1m4f last time and finishing second at Ripon while Lawmaking returns to a longer trip having placed over a mile at Haydock. Bobby K has struggled so far this year but TIME CHANGE should be spot on now with a couple of outings under her belt and Ralph Beckett’s filly may prove good enough back on the same mark as when successful over today’s trip at Salisbury last season.
