Verdict

ONLYAMATTEROFTIME isn't entirely straightforward but has some talent and, given the amount he had in hand when opening his hurdling account at Warwick, he's worth a chance to follow up at the possible expense of Wilful, who is seeking a hat-trick. Flying Fortune is also a big player if taking part on the back of a two-day turnaround.
