The veteran Patrickswell is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and has to be considered though a low draw is generally best in sprints here. CHARISMAS BIRTHDAY finished in front of him when they occupied the places behind Speed Dream here last week and it's the latter who can come out on top again and take this. More Questions has been raised a massive 11lb for his recent victory over 6f on soft ground here and has an even higher draw to overcome but the very versatile The Hamptons is always worth a look in the betting.
