Verdict

TIMELY GIFT showed the benefit of cheekpieces when a stylish Chepstow scorer a fortnight ago and is taken to follow up here with the headgear again in place on Tim Vaughan's low-mileage chaser. C&D winner Queen of The Court is next on the list ahead of the returning Theatre Mix, who is weighted to have a say if fully tuned up after her absence.

  2. QUEEN OF THE COURT (IRE)
