STITCHED IN TIME created a shock when making most to score easily from Auberge over the course and distance last month and a 7lb rise is negated by Shaun Dobbin's claim. Good ground was put forward as an explanation for his improvement and with similar conditions likely he can go in again. Vallani was well beaten that day and was earlier pulled up behind Auberge at Hexham. Goodacres Garden showed his first sign of ability behind Dickie Henderhoop at Carlisle though the ground was very testing. King's Chorister, who has been chasing and failed to finish in his three starts, is back on the same mark as when scoring at Perth in April. Jawaab has ten career victories to his credit, the latest coming on the Polytrack at Wolverhampton last month. He hasn't won over hurdles for more than two years but is in good heart and looks a threat.
