Rightsaidfred's success in the Mandarin Chase last month came about as the result of a battle of attrition and a similar slog in the Tote Chase at Towcester today ought to play right into the 11-year-old's hands.

Despite his age, he does not have too many miles on the clock but is the stable star at Anna Newton-Smith's Polegate yard and provided the trainer with the greatest moment so far in her short training career when taking the prestigious Newbury event.

In bottomless going and in driving rain, Rightsaidfred simply ground victory out with his long stride and relentless gallop.

And Towcester's testing fences and stiff finish require an abundance of stamina and resolution.

Graham Bradley, who rode Rightsaidfred for the first time at Newbury, takes the mount again.

Cambo is something of a regular at the course and he could go well at a price in the Winning Formula For Weddings Selling Handicap Hurdle.

His penultimate effort at Windsor when a fair sixth to Charlie Banker in a better contest that this suggests he still has some ability and he came good at this time last year over course and distance in an equally poor event.

Swanbister caught the eye on his first start for 10 months at Kelso a fortnight ago, when a close fourth to Sillars Stalker, having looked as if the race would bring him on.

The nine-year-old won two of his four starts last season in good style, and promises to continue improving this season. He can take the Persimmon Homes Handicap Chase.
