An interesting contest with some lightly raced and potentially smart prospects taking on proven performers. Cumbrian Venture and No Time both fall in to the latter category and each will have their share of supporters judged on recent efforts. The former was only narrowly denied in a 5f Listed contest at the Ebor meeting and was badly drawn when a creditable sixth in a valuable sales race over this trip at Doncaster last month. No Time has every chance on his close second in a Hamilton nursery off a mark of 99 and should go close while Topkamp and Judhoor are both capable of further progress and can make an impact at this level. However, TEAMtalk preference is for Avonbridge who is on to the hat-trick after following a maiden success with a comfortable nursery victory at Goodwood off a mark of 85 and now looks ready for this step up in class.
