Verdict
The returning Masterofdeception would have every chance of fully wound up but we’ll rely on the more recent form of TIMEFORBEN (NAP), a winner over track and trip in June who only narrowly failed to double up at Uttoxeter last month when 5lb higher. Innoko has been second twice on the Flat since his second over 2m4f here last month but Ruaraidh Hugh was on the retreat when falling at Perth having won lesser races here earlier. Vivant won her maiden here but tries a new trip and Burrows Lane isn’t progressing. Wicked Spice is best watched at present.
