3.00 Kempton – WAITING PATIENTLY
Odds: 16/1 “It’s obviously a good race. There’s the likes of Cyrname and Clan Des Obeaux, who has won the last two King Georges, and lots of other very talented horses. “But he’s in really good form at home. He hasn’t run since last December, but that’s never been a barrier for him before and he’s always done well after a long-lay off. “I’ve had three away-days with him and he’s schooled really well each time. Ruth is really happy with him and he’s as fit as you can physically get him at home.“He’s always been the forgotten horse, probably because he’s not trained by a big southern yard, but that suits us nicely as we can just sneak in there under the radar. “The big question is whether he’ll stay. I guess the fact is that no-one really knows, but he got two (miles) five (furlongs) at a track like Ascot so that has to give you confidence. “Everything’s gone well and we’re hoping he can run a huge race.”WOW! Waiting Patiently wins the big one in the Betfair Ascot Chase.
