In depth
Verdict
Ancient Times beat a subsequent winner when scoring on the Turf at Lingfield and is preferred to Twilight Madness. The latter completed a double at Kempton early in the year but FOLLOW YOUR HEART won at Wolverhampton before making a winning handicap debut in testing going at Doncaster and Kevin Ryan’s charge may cope best of these if the forecast rain arrives. Chipstead and Hello Me make most appeal of the remainder.
