Won twice over C&D in non-handicaps earlier in the year, and was placed in Listed company since then. Might now be exposed, but clearly handles these undulations well, and can't be ruled out.
Goes on any ground and despite his advancing years, his latest win suggested that there may be a little more to come, even from this 4lb higher mark. Interesting.
The likeable veteran CHIEFTAIN'S CHOICE was back in the winners' enclosure last time, and he could repeat the does from 4lb higher, given how he won that day. Nayati could prove to be his biggest danger, ahead of Ingleby Hollow.
