Bull Market needs a check in the betting however Stolen Hours is taken to follow up his recent win again at the main expense of Inchmahome and Motsaril. The last-named cannot be ruled out despite a poor effort last time out. That was his reappearance and he actually won next time out last season after a similar first effort. However, Stolen Hours was impressive from the front at Kempton last time out and looks sure to mount another bold bid from the front despite a 5lb rise in the weights (has won off 69 in the past). Inchmahome seemed to appreciate the step up in trip last time out when winning at Lingfield and this extra furlong shouldn't be a problem. He looks potentially better than this mark of 66 although he does appear to need some stoking up before he responds. Pocketwood is another last-time-out winner for consideration, whilst Mustajed drops in class which could pay dividends. A tough start for punters, and we will tentatively side with Stolen Hours.
