Verdict
The weather has cost TIME TO TINKER a couple of decent opportunities recently but conditions seem set fair for today and the Nicholls’ five-year-old can finally build on a decent first run at Exeter. Collateral form gives him the beating of Bobhopeornohope but Oneupmanship may appreciate the slightly better ground having shown promise at Uttoxeter and Chepstow. Grangeclare Glory could be a promising recruit from point-to-points and Glentruan is a likely improver. Note any market support for newcomers Cherubin De Pail, a half-brother to a Listed winner in France, or Windance.
