Forecasts

Hurricane Highway (5/2), Iberio (3/1), Take Your Time (9/2), Pimlico Point (5/1), Sporting Ace (6/1), Hurlerontheditch (6/1), Lagonda (13/2), Ballydisco (10/1), Grove Road (12/1)

There was plenty to like about TAKE YOUR TIME's performance when making a winning start over fences at Newton Abbot and a 3 lb rise is negligible given that he was a hurdles winner here off a 9 lb higher mark than this in 2021. The 8-y-o shades preference ahead of Hurlerontheditch, who had the race in safe-keeping when coming down at the final fence at Warwick. Pimlico Point also made a promising start to his chase career and merits respect, while Hurricane Highway is worth a second look, too.
