PATRICK made a winning start at Lingfield last month and the form looks solid with the runner-up Twin Turbo subsequently scoring at this track. Richard Fahey's colt gets the vote ahead of Dark Side Dream, second at Wolverhampton in December when finishing ahead of Vimy Ridge. Maiden winner Harry Hurricane failed by only a length back in a handicap last time but is upped in the weights while a 3lb rise for winning at Lingfield proved beyond Lackaday at this venue last time.
