Verdict

He's only tried this trip once before but SIR LES PATTERSON seem sure to benefit from this return to synthetics and with his usual cheekpieces reapplied, Stephen Thorne's 5-y-o is put forward as the answer. His main danger may emerge from Eclairage, who has a cracking C&D record and carries a light weight partnered by a 7-lb apprentice. The Highway Rat is a regular in this race and he rounds off the shortlist.
