Time worth waiting for

TAKE YOUR TIME (3.35) was a most impressive winner at Ffos Las last time.

The Paul Nicholls-trained six-year-old ran right away from Eyeofthescorpion up the run-in, and that one was miles clear of the third Gladiateur Allen. He’s a good yardstick, while the runner-up franked the form when third in a hot contest at Newbury last week. The selection will be stepping up in class here, but off only 6lb higher, and this week’s forecast rain will suit.

Another recent Ffos Las winner who will be suited by a wet forecast is FORVER BLESSED (1.15).

The Harry Fry-trained juvenile sloshed through the mud when recording a taking victory on his debut. The stiff Esher track will suit him, and while this is more competitive, he can prove up to it.
