WAITING PATIENTLY has won all three starts over fences including a Grade 2 novice event at Haydock back in January. He edges this at the weights and has gone well fresh before so Malcolm Jefferson’s exciting prospect gets the nod over Belami Des Pictons. The latter won three times in novice chases last term and is another with plenty to look forward to this season while Baywing picked-up a Grade 2 contest at Wetherby in between more modest efforts but has a bit to find on these terms. I Just Know faces an even stiffer task at the weights though ran well enough over these fences on last month’s comeback.
