Patrixbourne is the obvious starting point having won both outings since joining Tim Vaughan and is likely to adopt her usual aggressive tactics. She could improve again but she's up 17lb for those successes and FARFIELDS makes more appeal at the prices. A winning pointer, the Irish raider has only had the four runs over timber and posted by far her best effort here last time when a decent third to Winter Alchemy. She looks on the up over hurdles and rates a fair alternative to the Vaughan inmate. Legbeforewicket should do better now going handicapping but Hathamore's penalty will make life difficult for the Sayer charge. Soprano went well on the Flat last time but has hitherto failed to convince over hurdles.
