BEHIND TIME had excuses when pulling up at Haydock last time out and he is given another chance in what looks a decent staying chase. The selection impressed when winning at Uttoxeter prior to that and can see off Alfie Spinner who was placed in Graded company on his penultimate outing. Horatio Hornblower has been running well of late and he can record his third consecutive placed effort of the same mark he raced off when finishing runner-up last time.
