Waiting Patiently has proven himself well-named over the years but the fragile 10-year-old can pounce late to thwart Champion Chase hero Politologue in the Betting Exchange Clarence House Chase at Ascot today.
It's a month short of three years since Waiting Patiently made the Grade One breakthrough but Ruth Jefferson's charge has only managed to make it to the track five times since that Ascot Chase success stretched his unbeaten record over fences to six races.
