LONGEST TRAVELLER: YIMOU trained by D Ivory, Radlett, 121 miles.

GRANDFATHER TOM capitalised on his much-reduced mark when comfortably seeing off 5 rivals at Lingfield 7 days ago and a repeat should see him firmly in the mix once more under a penalty. Dapper Man, a winner himself over C&D on Monday, can give the selection most to think about
