Forecasts

Verdict

MODERN TIMES shaped well from a less-than-ideal position here on his return and probably did too much on the front end at Pontefract last time, so can be given another chance to build on that promising comeback. Musical Touch should remain competitive after a 4 lb rise for winning at Southwell, with U Sure Do taken to complete the placings.
