JOYEUX MACHIN went with more zest in refitted cheekpieces/tongue strap in the Great Yorkshire Chase at Doncaster on his latest outing, in a clear lead when falling 5 out, and he could be working his way back to winning ways this season. He is preferred to Montregard, who has put up 2 good efforts over C&D this season, with Jipcot also considered.
