A poor handicap with few in form but with Seb Sanders booked we can take it that No Time will be trying and he is the selection, ahead of Jadan and Art Elegant. The selection is back up 1lb after finishing a length-and-a-half behind Miacarla at Thirsk last time. This is his optimum trip and as he runs to a consistent level of form he looks good enough here. Jadan is interesting now blinkered for the first time and if that elicits improvement then he could be a serious threat to the selection. His half length second to Brut last time reads well in this moderate affair and he won't be far away. Art Elegant does not find winning easy, but he has made the frame on his two latest outings and he appreciates fast ground, so he can again finish in the money. Of the others Strawberry Patch could go well at a price, but preference here is for No Time.
