DRIVE TIME has had seven career starts and won five of them, falling at Aintree and pulling up at Cheltenham in the other two. He's entered in a Listed contest at Leopardstown on Thursday and in the Ebor so this should prove no problem. Whatever Jacksays has to concede him 7lb after beating Dare To Doubt, who has won since, very easily in a similar race to this at Leopardstown. He'll ensure the selection doesn't have everything his own way while Enchanted Forest is very consistent and will be vying for a place, probably with Mart Lane, a bumper and hurdles winner who last ran in a Grade 2 over timber in January.
