Verdict
Little to seperate the majority of these and this looks a most competitive heat. Time To Remember is not the easiest to predict and can take a pull in his races but was drawn on the unfavoured side at newmarket last time and is better judged on a Newcastle third behind the in-form Grey Cossack in April. Up Tempo has struggled this term but has slipped 12lb in the meantime and wasn't disgraced behind Chispa last time while What-A-Dancer was an easy York handicap winner off 69 (now 9lb higher) in September but may now be in the handicapper's grip. Mine ended last term in style and appears to be coming back to his best while Jelba had kept her form despite a busy winter campaign and is turned out quickly after running creditably in the face of a stiff task behind Monkston Point at Windsor last weekend.
