Good effort when close up last month; 12th attempt to lose maiden tag but improved form the last twice; goes on the shortlist if replicating most recent run.

Trainer is operating at a respectable strike-rate; already gelded; sire has produced plenty of sprint winners; first competitive racecourse experience; any market positivity behind this debutant should be noted.

Stable does well here with debutants; sire gets his share of decent sorts; shares a dam with Consigliere, a 6f winner; should go well with signs of encouragement in profile and his sire is a speed influence.

Just denied on his debut, finished ahead of Trip To States at Turffontein at 5-2 47 days ago; from powerful trainer; if building on initial effort must enter calculations.

Came home fourth, beaten 11l, in a maiden juvenile plate 14 days ago; much respected as shown he can be competitive fairly recently.

September foal; gelded already; market confidence needed to make him of interest as trainer often leaves something to work on.

Completely tailed off on his debut at Turffontein at 33-1 three weeks ago; could improve from first run although a leap forward required to win this.

Already a gelding; from the same family as Soho Star, a winner over 6f; trainer has enjoyed debutant winners at this course; early foal; sire capable of producing high class offspring; hard to dismiss as some good aspects to his profile and the current stable form is another tick.
Form:

Beaten on his debut here at 66-1 six weeks ago; might be better for the experience although not hard to turn elsewhere.

Verdict
TIME WILL TELL is strongly fancied to come out on top. He can rebound from a below-par latest run. Soho Heartthrob could be the most dangerous of the newcomers while Mizzen Sword competes off the back of some good runs, and War Of Kingdoms has potential to improve.
