Patience must be wearing thin with Keys. The eight-year-old was unbeaten in bumpers and developed into a decent stayer on the Flat but has now found one too good in all five of his hurdles runs and doesn't appear to be progressing. REGULATION could be the one to deny him here having run well in a handicap at Warwick and on the level at Epsom after opening his account over timber at Market Rasen. Lilac Tree won twice on the all-weather but has had a year off and is best watched today while Jarlath needs more after winning a maiden hurdle at Worcester.
