A race here where there doesn't look to be any pace on. Timia, Ti Amo, Cosmic Symbol and Punches Pious cut all be vying for the lead here from different parts of the course. A couple up at the head of the field could hang on for a place, but preference is for HATTONS CROSS, back on winning mark, with going, CD and field size to suit, to slowly make his way in to the race.
