Verdict

An open novices handicap so at the likely odds it could be worth siding with A TIME TO SHINE to make a winning start over fences. Oliver Sherwood's twice-raced 6-y-o has always looked the type to take to chasing and can build on his fairly useful hurdling form. Everything Now is aother interesting recruit to chasing for Tom Symonds so is feared most ahead of hat-trick seeking Favori de Sivola.
