Patiently team waiting for right opportunity Plans are fluid for Waiting Patiently who is not far off returning to action. Malcolm Jefferson's chaser, who beat subsequent Tingle Creek hero Politologue as a novice, was a winner at Carlisle on his seasonal return last month. He was under consideration firstly for the Tingle Creek, then the John Durkan or Caspian Caviar Gold Cup, but a minor setback ruled him out of all three races. "He'll run anything between the next two to six weeks. There are options for him at Cheltenham, Ascot and Haydock," said Jefferson's daughter and assistant, Ruth. "We just got held up when he had a little cough, which was a shame because now there's no obvious race to aim at. "No one is holding a gun to our heads, though, we're under no pressure. "We'll go when we think he's firing and when the race is right."
