Forecasts

Patroclus (2/1), Nestor Park (11/4), Java Point (10/3), Switch Hitter (13/2), Keep Rolling (7/1)

Verdict

A low-mileage 6-y-o, PATROCLUS showed improved form and a willing attitude to boot when off the mark over fences at Leicester 2 starts back. A very good third at Kempton (20.5f) since (solid form), he's very much one to be interested in again and earns the vote in the expectation this longer trip proves within reach. Nestor Park, who tasted success here on his latest star,t and Switch Hitter may emerge as the chief threats.

  1. PATROCLUS (IRE)
  2. NESTOR PARK (FR)
  3. SWITCH HITTER (IRE)
