Verdict

SCHEU TIME can be forgiven his minor hiccup at Ascot last month and can improve sufficiently to take the honours here following a solid season to date. C&D winner, Like An Open Book looks booked to finish in the frame along with The King Of Brega. Any market move for the Tony Martin-trained, Voices Of Spring should be noted.
  1. Scheu Time
