TAKE YOUR TIME won with a bit to spare at Ffos Las on his return to action and Paul Nicholls’ charge looks to have leading claims again in this. Vaziani is fitted with blinkers having gone close in a lower grade at Kempton recently but Dell' Arca makes more appeal at this level after placing at Newbury. Better is expected from What About Time and Wildfire Warrior with last month’s comeback efforts under their belts while Flashjack slips further down the weights on his reappearance.
