CHASERS MASTER CHEWY (139) was a real eyecatcher on his seasonal comeback at Ascot in early November.
Nigel Twiston-Davies' seven-yearold had to cart top weight in a really competitive handicap and was only run out of things in the closing the stages. He was giving the best part of two stone to the horses that finished ahead of him and was less than four lengths behind the leader.
An entry in the Tingle Creek may be a tad ambitious but if he does turn up at Sandown, it wouldn't be a surprise if he made the frame at the current 20-1 with William Hill.
Either way, he will be winning more races as he's made the transition to second-season chaser and should improve for fitness thanks to this run.
