There should be more to come from the lightly-raced IT JUST TAKES TIME, who made a winning C&D handicap debut in December and subsequently found just one too good over 6f back here last month. Blue Moonrise has done very little wrong in her 4 starts to date and is second choice ahead of Jacattack, who landed a Southwell maiden 12 days ago but needs to prove that he's equally effective on tapeta.
