Pass The Time has won two of her four starts in chases and been second in the others. But one of those defeats came over this course and distance and the mare has to give 14lb to FRODON. The four-year-old has no form on ground this quick but had useful form over hurdles last season and can cash in on his hefty weight-for-age allowance. This looks much too short for Tempestatefloresco but he has won over these fences and had every chance when falling at Southwell subsequently.
