Red Society, Time To Roam and Downtherefordancin are three against the field in a wide open handicap hurdle and the vote goes to Time To Roam. The selection has been in the form of his life of late and although he is rising in the weights he has won with plenty in hand and could still be ahead of the handicapper and under conditions that suit he is taken to win again Red Society rates the main danger he has also been in good form of late and won well last timeout. However his best form is on a softer surface and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Downtherefordancin would have a chance on his best form but he looks weighted up to his best and may need to drop in the handicap before he gets his head back in front. The Gene Genie has dropped to a handy mark and is another with place claims but she has had plenty of chances of late without taking one. Of the remainder Teorban is from a shrewd yard and is one to note in the market but for the winner we return to Time To Roam.
