In depth
Verdict
Time Over should prove too strong for the likes of Fluffy and Saaratt. The selection showed plenty of promise in a competitive looking maiden at Newmarket on her debut when she finished third behind Lang Shining. She was slowly away and looked in need of the run that day so she should come on a bundle for the outing and that would make her tough to beat. Fluffy hung badly last time at Wolverhampton in a race won by Hazy Days. The winner has since been out and franked the form but Fluffy does not look straightforward and is probably best watched. Saaratt finished in mid-division at Wolverhampton last time but she remains lightly-raced and could be open to further improvement. Turban Heights is from a yard that can ready a newcomer first time out so should be noted in the market. However, we will stick with Time Over to land the prize.
