Verdict
Ridicule bids for a three timer for the Easterby camp and if she does not feel too many ill-effects from a tough battle with Loughlorien at Musselborough, she will take all the beating. Beat Time returns to the turf after looking uncomfortable on the all-weather latest. It would be wrong to write her off on this fast surface. Fragrant Storm would enter calculations on two-year-old form but weakened quickly on soft ground on her reappearance. Dizzy In The Head was a precocious two-year-old but produced a surprise in selling grade last time out - today will be much tougher.
