Back to form with a bang with a 4-length success on Newcastle's AW (7f) last Thursday. All wins on AW but he does act on turf and looks well treated under a 5 lb penalty.

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 40/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, soft) 10 days ago. Claims if he can build on that for his in-form yard.

Better than ever when successful over C&D last month and he still looks feasibly treated after a 4 lb rise. Won this race last year.

Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Yet to fire this season for his current yard this season. Mark on the slide as a result but need to see more before lending support. .

C&D winner. Below par when fifth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good, 6/1) 23 days ago but he had been a good second over this C&D prior to that.

Two AW wins at the beginning of 2023. Might have needed the outing after a break when fifth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good) 38 days ago.

13/2 and hooded first time, didn't need to improve to win 12-runner C&D classified event (good to soft) last Friday. More on his plate under a 5 lb penalty (due to be 2 lb lower from Saturday).

Forecasts

Patontheback (3/1), Monhammer (10/3), The Gay Blade (6/1), Bulls Aye (7/1), End Zone (8/1), Sparkle In His Eye (17/2), Rich Waters (9/1), Magicdollar (16/1), Nefyn Dawn (18/1)

Verdict

PATONTHEBACK won back to back at the end of 2021 and might be able to repeat the feat as he looks well treated under a 5 lb penalty for last week's comfortable Newcastle success. Last year's winner Monhammer is feared most ahead of John Quinn's lightly-raced 4-y-o Nefyn Dawn.
