Verdict
Billyfairplay has been sent to the UK to complete a double on Tapeta but a 6lb rise may prevent a hat-trick. TIDE OF TIME always travelled well before going clear and winning with a bit in hand here ten days ago and though hit with a massive 11lb rise he's taken to complete a quick double. Captain Midnight is the only other course and distance winner in the line-up though he does better with a bit of cut in the ground or on Polytrack. Brave Display is another who would enjoy some give and is gradually dropping to a winnable mark while Amazing One was going on strongly at the finish behind the selection last time and should get closer.
