Peter Scudamore: Waiting Patiently can rediscover form after stable switch
The former champion jockey, now assistant to Lucinda Russell, reveals his ten
I'll begin with some Irish horses and have to start withBob Olinger, who looks outstanding. He won the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham and good horses always seem to win that.
Envoi Allen is an obvious one – it rocked me when I saw Michael O'Leary say he's probably the best horse that has ever been in training but he does look good.

Klassical Dream is another very talented individual. He's had soundness issues but you can make substitutions through the competition and the 3m hurdle division looks there to be won.
I can remember watching Dawn Run and Honeysuckle looks one of the greatest mares of all time.
In Britain, My Drogo looks exciting and could stay further – I like Milans, they usually stay.

It's bad luck on Ruth Jefferson that she's lost Waiting Patiently, but horses do have a tendency to rediscover their old form with a change of stable and Christian Williams is doing very well.
I thought Chantry House put up a good performance at Cheltenham and he is a lively contender for the King George after his win at Sandown.
I'm biased as he's trained by my son Michael but I was impressed with Do Your Job at Warwick. He's improved after a wind operation and was more relaxed over fences. He looks quite a character of a horse but if he gets a bit of confidence from that first chase run he could step up in grade, he's a big chasing type.
Moving even closer to home I was delighted with our Ahoy Senor's jumping at Carlisle and he'll probably go to Hexham or Newbury next. He does look as though he could at least equal his hurdling prowess over fences.
And I thought Mighty Thunder ran an excellent trial for the Becher Chase in the Charlie Hall at Wetherby. Some of ours have needed their first run and I was pleased with the way he battled back.
In the back of our minds, we think he'll probably take the same route to the Grand National as One For Arthur did.
