TIME TO REGRET can come out on top in the finale and he gets the vote over Ninth House and Hits Only Cash. The selection has got course and distance winning form and he looks to be on a fair mark at present. He was a good second behind King Of Legend at Ayr last time and from a good low draw he looks to set the standard for the others. Ninth House won over 7f here last time but the draw is against him today and he does have a 6lbs penalty to contend with. Hits Only Cash chased home Aggbag at Warwick last time when he went off as favourite. He is without the cheekpieces today and he has a high draw so there are reasons to take him on. Barodine looks to be on a fair mark and from the plum draw he is respected. But we prefer the claims of Time To Regret who gets the vote.
