Verdict
It’s been over a year since Queen of Time last competed in a handicap and she never figured carrying top weight on that occasion. Time Change won over track and trip last year though has yet to threaten so far this season but Amber Spark won over today’s distance in soft ground at Ripon last month and is 5lb higher today. BABA GHANOUJ made a promising start in handicaps when runner-up to the progressive Bella Vita over course and distance. The winner has won again subsequently and Ed Walker’s filly may prove good enough in this.
