Verdict

Successful at Beverley in July, IT JUST TAKES TIME drops back into class 4 company for the first time since and is worth a chance to bounce back with a visor applied. Classy Clarets is much respected, though, as he arrives in top form, with Vince le Prince also in the mix.

  1. IT JUST TAKES TIME (IRE)
  2. CLASSY CLARETS (IRE)
  3. VINCE LE PRINCE
