Nayati bids for a fourth win of the year having scored in a higher grade at Perth last time. He’s only been raised 2lb so shouldn’t be far away again. Chieftain's Choice was back to his best at Stratford in July but the interesting one is INGLEBY HOLLOW, a consistent sort over hurdles and on the Flat and successful in two of three previous runs around here. Snookered is 0-7 over timber but is fit from a campaign on the level.
Nayati (FR) 9-4 (11-12) Chased leaders, 2nd before omitted 3 out, driven to challenge last, led flat, stayed on, won at Perth 2m hcp (2) hvy in Aug beating Chef De Troupe (10-13) by 3/4l, 4 ran.
Ingleby Hollow 13-2 (11-12) Held up in rear, headway after 2 out, pressed for 2nd briefly off last bend, no chance with winner, no extra final 75 yards, 3rd of 10, 11 1/2l behind The Steward (10-6) at Cartmel 2m 1f hcp (3) gs in Aug.
Chieftain's Choice (IRE) 7-1 (10-13) Raced keenly in rear, headway after 2 out, not much room on bend between last 2, chased leaders before last, went 2nd and stayed on well run-in, led towards finish, won at Stratford 2m hcp (3) gd in Jul beating Mystic Sky (11-11) by 1 1/2l, 9 ran.
Snookered (IRE) 9-2 (11-0) Close up, ridden 2f out, kept on one pace, 4th of 10, 3 3/4l behind Percy Prosecco (10-5) at Catterick 1m 4f hcp (5) sft in Aug.
