There was much to admire how GIFT IN TIME was able to successfully overcome the worst of the draw at Chester last time and, being one of the few proven soft ground performers in this field, it would be no surprise if he was up to defying his opening handicap mark with the step up in trip likely to work in his favour. Holy Tiber is a another proven mud-lover who shouldn't be underestimated whilst Yorkshire raiders Rufus King and Quayside are also feared.
