Some high-quality conditional pilots on view with Richard Patrick taken to emerge victorious on ERIC THE THIRD. The Irish import has steadily come to hand since joining Tim Vaughan and followed up an easy Newton Abbot success with a valiant effort here last time when just outpointed by the unexposed Thames Knight. That looks useful form in the context of this race and a repeat effort sees him a leading contender. Scotsbrook Night's consistency means he receives little respite from the assessor but also that he can be relied upon to run his race more often than not. Bring Back Charlie should be cherry-ripe now and is respected along with the unexposed Newt and nearest rival in the weights, Elysian Prince, a good third at Stratford last month.
