A few in with a shout but WAVECREST remains relatively low mileage as a chaser, and provided he can settle a bit better than last time, Nigel Hawke's front runner gets the verdict to notch a second career success. Havana River opened her account last month and she's fancied to give the selection most to think about, ahead of Rectory Oak.
