Verdict
TOPTIME shaped better than the result at Nottingham last time and looks ready to strike now on his last winning mark. Fortunate Star comes here in good form after winning at Haydock 7 days ago and is the obvious threat off the same mark, while Jojo Rabbit isn't taken lightly having won this off 4 lb higher 12 months ago.

VerdictWon twice over 5f in spring. Finished third of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (11/4) 10 days ago when reverted to patient tactics. Should give another good account.- 10. Fortunate StarJ: Harry SmithT: Declan CarrollF: 24953481

VerdictBest effort this year when winning 7-runner handicap at Haydock (7/1) in first-time tongue strap 7 days ago, making smooth headway 2f out before forging clear. Escapes a penalty so has to be taken seriously despite all wins coming at bare 5f.
