Formscan - Smalleytime appeared freshened up by a 51-day break when landing the spoils over 7f at Newcastle earlier this month. Although a 3lb higher rating shouldn't prevent another bold bid, this drop to 6f might leave the four-year-old vulnerable. With that in mind, it could be worth taking a chance on THAKI, who is returning to the C&D of his last success. Doon The Glen also warrants a second look after an eyecatching second at Gosforth Park on Friday.
