Caribbean Sunset (2/1), Elusive Treat (11/4), Silent Queen (9/2), Global Vision (11/2), It Just Takes Time (6/1), Kevin The Minion (25/1), Dacesa (50/1)

IT JUST TAKES TIME got off the mark despite seeming unsuited by the drop in trip at this course 3 weeks ago and, with more to come over a more suitable distance, he's preferred to Silent Queen, who bolted up on fibresand last time. Global Vision and Elusive Treat, also recent winners, warrant consideration too.
