Better ground saw PATTERN MARK back in the winner's enclosure at Newcastle. He's gone up 3lb for that success but the even faster going here will suit and he looks the one to beat. Five Hearts is a C&D winner and has an accomplished apprentice on board while Brighton third Zennor is starting to come down the weights and could easily make the frame again. Entrance disappointed at Newbury last time while Highlife Dancer hasn't shown much this year but is very well handicapped on his best form.
