Formscan - ALNAYEF needed only to be pushed out to land an amateurs race by seven lengths over C&D last time. Jim Goldie's charge made every yard and will take some catching if allowed his own way in front once again. Time Turner scored at Newcastle at the start of the year and steps up in trip with solid claims representing Ed Bethell's in-form yard, while Bruce Banner is regularly in the mix off similar marks.
