PATRICK scored with authority here a fortnight ago and while he's been hit with an 8lb rise for that effort, it might not be enough to halt him just yet. From the same race, Shepherd's Purse and Split The Atom are worth considering on better terms, with the last-named preferred from that duo. Gentlemen doesn't come to this track very often and will be worth noting in the market while Oneoveryou is excellent heart though might just find this trip is beyond the optimum for win purposes. Northern Surprise should be suited by the drop in trip having travelled well over a mile last time while recent winner Grey Danube would remain a threat if able to reproduce that effort. 1.
