Verdict
OSCAR TIME may be well into the veteran stage but remains a talented individual, especially in this hunter chase grade. Not at all heavily raced in the past five seasons, he finished a superb fourth behind Aurora's Encore in last year's Grand National and was always in charge on his return to Rules recently when scoring cosily at Uttoxeter. He should have far too much class for this opposition despite a significant drop in trip. Moon Over Miami will also be 14 next birthday and although this formerly very useful sort is hardly a light of days past, he still looks the likeliest danger. The rest are out of form with Windy Arbour a token choice as next best.
