ALAN King was left with a quandary after 10/1 shot Who Dares Wins (Tom Cannon) stayed on best to land the Grade 2 Pendil by three-quarters of a length from the Paul Nicholls-trained Southfield Stone (Bryony Frost).

The Northumberland Plate winner has been an intended runner in the RSA Insurance Chase, but the handicapper left his mark unchanged for this, and King is now leaning towards a run in the Ultima Handicap Chase on the opening day of the Cheltenham meeting next month.
