Nayati won three times last season, including once off this mark. He seems to go well fresh and Brian Hughes is back on board so a big run is anticipated. Coolnaugh Haze started favourite but was only fourth when Liverpool Knight won a Class 2 at Market Rasen in September. The latter has been raised 4lb but his conditional rider claims back 3lb. Inca De Lafayette and Moveit Like Minnie are other recent winners who should be in the firing-line while Imperial Bede still has plenty of scope. But ONEMOREFORTHEROAD, highly tried throughout most of his career, can’t get much lower in the weights so is definitely worth a market check.
