WAITING PATIENTLY can follow up last year's success here with everything seemingly in his favour at long last. Ruth Jefferson's star has required connections to live by his name this season but he can hopefully repay that patience now with this likely a stepping stone towards the Ryanair. Politologue arguably doesn't get the credit he deserves but Paul Nicholls' stalwart is a big danger with this trip far more suitable than at Kempton. Cyrname took his form to a new level latest and could be a threat to all if getting in a similar rhythm upfront.
