Plenty with chances in this. Tracking Time finished closer at Market Rasen in May though has something to prove over this longer trip. AMUSE ME also posted a better effort at Stratford last time and against better opposition than this. He's taken to build on that six length defeat by Castlemorris King and return to winning ways. Ben Cee Pee is not the most consistent but his latest fourth at Market Rasen looks stronger form than Sonofagun and Aughcarra's recent placed efforts and he could prove best of the rest.
