Things remain pretty quiet for the Pipe yard but TIMEFORBEN displayed marked improvement when battling on in doughty fashion to score at Kempton and is taken to go in again off a 4lb higher mark. This doesn't rate a more demanding assignment and she clearly holds Little Millie on that Kempton running. Drill Baby Drill has scope for progression after just a couple of runs for a yard which does well here but La Fille Francaise appeals as the main danger after showing steady improvement on recent starts, the latest of which when a close third in a Warwick handicap, brings her right into contention. Your Wan and Goodgirlteresa also merit respect.
