OUTRUN THE STORM has gone close in a couple of Class 3 contests since scoring at Leicester. Only 2lb higher than that success and dropping back down a grade, Richard Fahey’s charge gets the vote. It Just Takes Time missed out on a hat-trick when second at Doncaster while Barney's Bay would prefer some cut in the ground. Eldelbar had the measure of Proud Archi when landing a claiming race here but novice winner Majestic looks a bigger threat now handicapping.
