THE TIMEFORM VIEW RYEFIELD raised his game starting out for this yard when runner-up in a soft-ground C&D maiden recently and, with similar conditions forecast, he could be the answer now pitched into a nursery Hares Bredth can be expected to step up on what he’s shown in three qualifying runs off a lowly opening mark, while Dacres Cross will also be a threat if handling conditions (unraced on ground slower than good) and Sporting Light (proven on good to soft) is another to consider.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW The vote goes to FLOWSTATE, who hit the crossbar at Ripon recently and, just 2lb above the mark off which he scored at Catterick in August, he remains feasibly treated. Lucius Aurelius is of strong interest now eased in class and he rates the main danger ahead of Without Flaw and Toptime.
