Four-time winner, all on fast ground over 6f. Back down to his last winning mark but there is some rain forecast and he's been a little out of form on his last three starts.
Cost £70,000 as a yearling and ran well at Haydock on his second start but sold for just £19,000 subsequently and struggled to land a blow on yard debut at Bath. Still unexposed at least and may come on for that recent run so not ruled out but yard have been a little quiet.
Recent wins have come on the AW at Lingfield and not won on turf since 2014. Historically struggled from a mark this high and best turf form has come on fast ground so won't like the rain that may be coming.
Going well on the AW this winter and got his head in front four times over the last five months but yet to place on any of his four turf starts and well beaten on latest turf outing in August, others preferred.
Was running to a consistent level last season and 2lb drop in his handicap mark may halp him get his head in front. Less exposed than some in here and may have improved over the winter; any market confidence would be significant.
Won a Doncaster maiden in good style, finding more when pressed by the runner-up. Failed to back that up at Salisbury last time but gives the impression this mark is within her compass and big run expected with top jockey booked on comeback.
On the downgrade a little when last seen. Needs the break to have freshened him up and best performances have come on good to firm so he wouldn't want to see any more rain.
Forecasts
Time To Exceed (15/8), Tanasoq (4/1), Diamond Lady (9/2), Highly Sprung (11/2), Born To Finish (10/1), Danecase (10/1), Sumou (16/1)
TIME TO EXCEED's run at Doncaster was highly promising and while she failed to back that up at the end of last season, she could prove a different proposition entirely this season. Tanasoq was a consistent sort last season and has received a little relief from the handicapper for his most recent effort while Sumou is less exposed than most in here and may come on for his most recent run.
