Formscan - TIME LEADER ran with plenty of credit when fifth in the Aintree Foxhunters and subsequently backed that up with an easy success at Kelso earlier this month. This represents a fine opportunity for the nine-year-old to prove a cut above the opposition. Shoal Bay has to be of interest on his debut in this sphere, while Gaboriot appears best of the remainder.
