7/5
Looked above average when making a winning start in 7-runner maiden at Nottingham in October. Not seen to best effect when second of 3 at Wolverhampton on return and remains a useful prospect.

Modest form in maiden at Chelmsford and novice at Wolverhampton.

Forecasts

Manatee Mehmas (5/6), Time To Take Off (7/5), Hallandale Beach (17/2), You Mystify Me (10/1), Lady Grey (25/1), Sanny Doo (28/1), Tickhill Flyer (80/1), Aurora's Doublesix (250/1)

Verdict

TIME TO TAKE OFF remains a useful prospect and has been found an excellent opportunity in a weak novice. David O'Meara's debutant Manatee Mehmas has a decent pedigree and rates a clear next best.
