Nicky Henderson seems to have found the key to CHIVES who has relished the step up from 2m at which he was consistently outpaced. He did achieve his latest success courtesy of the Stratford stewards but it still rates a good performance and he can complete his three-timer. The yard also field Baron Nelson, who has not built on a pleasing Warwick run in April but still has time on his side. You Name Him is now 7lb lower than when third at Ffos Las in May and has a shout but the unexposed Celtic Tara requires a market check after 511 days off.
