NAYATI (NAP) was winning for the third time this season when beating Collingham two lengths here on New Year’s Day with Socialist Agenda further behind. Despite a 3lb rise, the nine-year-old may still be well treated. Lebowski beat the odds-on Kellahen at Wetherby on his seasonal reappearance and is entitled to improve on that, though none of those behind have been able to frank the form. Parisencore, Kihavah and Camprond would have each-way claims on their best form but Grivetana looks a bigger danger as this sharper track should suit her style of running.
