Nayati wins his fair share and local trainer Donald McCain also runs the consistent Word Has It, who is closely matched with Bubble Dubi on Stratford form. But WHIZZ KID’s victory at Doncaster five weeks ago should have convinced connections that 2m is his best trip and the seven-year-old has struck up a good understanding with 7lb claimer Luke Scott. Too Friendly drops back in distance and would appear to have every chance on the form book and Aggagio could also figure off bottom weight with Caoilin Quinn good vale for his 5lb allowance. Castel Gandolfo is another to note if the going dries out.
