PATROL (3) has improved markedly in three starts since joining this yard. Scored at Southwell (1m) last month and stepping up in trip looks in his favour. MANARA (2) seeks a hat-trick after winning at Chelmsford and hacking up over 5L at this venue. Longer distance and much higher mark to contend with but demands maximum respect. FERNANDO (1) made a winning handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m) during October. Has held his form switched to the all-weather since. Solid credentials. TIEMPO ALEGRE (5) is proven at this track. Can challenge for a place.
