25/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 44 days ago. Not firing at present and others make more appeal.

C&D winner. 7/1, career best when winning 20-runner handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, soft), driven out. Off 9 months. Deserves respect if he can return in the same form.

Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 14/1) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Back to a potentially lenient mark and can't be dismissed.

2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in March. Good third of 16 in handicap (14/1) at Newbury (6f, good to soft) 23 days ago, rallying. Going through a good spell at present and no reason why he won't be on the premises again.

C&D winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Latest win here in January. 11/4, 5½ lengths last of 12 to Bosh in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 44 days ago. Latest run best ignored and had been thriving prior to that, so one to note.

28/1
Course winner. Creditable second of 16 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft, 17/2) 15 days ago. Well treated on last year's best efforts and worth a chance to go one better than that encouraging reappearance.

Forecasts

Misty Grey (4/1), King's Lynn (4/1), Batal Dubai (6/1), Prince of Zenda (15/2), Bosh (8/1), Tacarib Bay (11/1), Dare To Hope (11/1), Just A Spark (18/1), Rocket Rodney (18/1), Strike Red (20/1), Tiger Crusade (25/1), Juan Les Pins (28/1), It Just Takes Time (28/1), First Folio (33/1)

Verdict

IT JUST TAKES TIME won twice off higher marks last year and made a most encouraging return when a smooth-travelling second at Doncaster 15 days ago, so he gets the marginal vote to go one better in a wide-open race. The well-treated King's Lynn is a player having returned to form last time and Bosh can't be ignored in his current mood.
