Verdict

HANDS OF TIME should have come on for a recent pipe-opener over a mile at this track. He'll appreciate the return to 7f and is preferred to stablemate Glossy Posse. The latter won in soft ground at Leicester in October while Royal Caper is a course and distance winner but is 9lb higher on his reappearance. Little Indian won a lowly handicap over 6f at Lingfield in March but will need to improve again to match handicap debutants Dark Templar, Poitin and Miss Mocca.
