Verdict
TIMEFORWEST carries extra for her Grade 3 victory at Cork but subsequently ran a cracking race in a very hot handicap at the Punchestown Festival. She has plenty going for her here and looks the one to beat. Barra was beaten a long way out in that latter contest but that wasn't her form as she's been placed at Cheltenham festivals in 2017 and 2018. Her stable companion Mill Quest was fifth in that Punchestown event before battling on strongly at Kilbeggan so she's likely to go well but easy Cork maiden hurdle winner Sunrise Lady could have been found an easier race to make her chasing debut.
