      Verdict

      QUESTION TIMES failed to land the odds when only fourth to King Ferdinand at Chester in May and hasn't been seen since. However, even a repeat of that run should be good enough to account for these and her second in a Listed race at Newmarket last October is a world apart from anything achieved by her rivals. Ziraun is probably the one for forecast-backers on her close-up third at Warwick, though Tiberius Claudius was placed over 7f in a handicap here in July before finishing last of four at Brighton.
