This is another tricky three-year-old handicap, with Time Share getting the call ahead of Polish World and Nabra. Nabra cost 105,000 guineas but did not look a bargain in three runs last season. That said, he could well improve this time around. King Of Tricks could improve for racing over six furlongs today, while Wadnagin is lightly-raced enough to be given some thought as she has shown promise. Time Share has performed with credit on each start to date, and Queensgate would hold a chance if replicating his best Turf efforts of last autumn. Polish World is another potential improver so do not be surprised if he improves in handicaps now, while Strike Force's best efforts have come in sellers but, once again, for the selection, we will side with Time Share.
