OAK VINTAGE has the look and feel of a much improved handicap chaser. He has been raised 10lb for his decisive Kelso success (2m1f) earlier this month, and strictly on weights and measures should struggle to confirm his previous Hexham form with Roman Numeral. However, Ann Hamilton excels with her chasers, and he is very much the type to run up a sequence now that he has become a much more proficient fencer. Minella Suite is probably worthy of one last chance now that he encounters quicker ground, and he looks the most logical option for the forecast, but patience wise, he's rather living on borrowed time.
