Tide Times^t1²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 114| D

2/1

Yet to score in three runs over fences, but he recorded very good third in 3m handicap at Exeter 28 days ago. Tongue strap on, and he merits serious consideration off an unchanged mark.

Form: P6-82P3

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: James Davies| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 112| D

9/1

Arrives below par over hurdles and fences this term, tried in a visor and blinkers too. Falling in the weights but he still needs a big step forward.

Forecasts

Tide Times (2/1), Roque It (10/3), Speak Of The Devil (18/5), Wigglesworth (5/1), What's Occurring (6/1), Hard To Forget (9/1), Boughtbeforelunch (14/1)

Most of these arrive with question marks against them, so this looks an excellent opportunity for TIDE TIMES to open his account over fences on the back of his excellent Exeter third. Roque It has the potential to make his mark here if shrugging off a lesser effort at Wincanton, while Wigglesworth is another who can have say if his jumping holds up.
