Verdict
MAPPIN TIME has slid down the weights this season but showed signs of a revival at Haydock a fortnight ago. Tim Easterby's colt finished a place behind today's rival Jamesway when fourth here at the May meeting but can reverse the form on better terms and is taken to land this. Nine Before Ten won a seller at Lingfield a week ago but this is tougher, while Mawjoodah won a maiden on the Polytrack recently and has a high draw to contend with. Cruise Tothelimit could figure dropping back in distance and C&D winner Scarlet Rocks has place claims.
