(3)

Time Has Wings^b³⁰

4/1

7/1 and blinkered for 1st time, very good second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 30 days ago, rallying. Can go one better if the headgear has a positive effect once more.

16/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, third of 6 in minor event at Catterick (7f, soft) 18 days ago. Should improve switched to handicaps, though assessor has taken no chances with opening mark.

Form: 0-53

Seventh of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good, 12/1) 37 days ago, not ideally placed. Might strip fitter for that and down 3 lb.

5/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, seventh of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 32 days ago, not clear run. Still unexposed, so could build on that.

Form: 0-057

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Megan Nicholls| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 48

9/1

Good second of 9 in handicap (22/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 30 days ago. Claims if she can back it up, but that's far from assured.

(11)

Tiberius Augustus^p1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Harrison Shaw| T: B Ellison| OR: 45

Forecasts

Time Has Wings (4/1), Iris Dancer (9/2), Porth Diana (5/1), Strangerontheshore (13/2), Caprese Girl (13/2), Lady Of Desire (9/1), Loweswater (10/1), Walter (16/1), Desert Cat (25/1), Tiberius Augustus (25/1), Astapor (40/1)

Blinkers and a positive ride brought improvement out of TIME HAS WINGS when second at Wolverhampton and, although 3 lb higher now, she's worth a chance to land this moderate contest. Iris Dancer warrants consideration following her Ripon success and Caprese Girl is the most appealing of the handicap debutants.
