      Verdict

      PATCH PATCH is improving with experience and gets the vote to win again with both Tilys Tale and Star Promise posing as the biggest dangers. The selection improved from his debut at this venue to score at Carlisle last time out. He looks more than good enough to win off a mark of 80 and is the one horse in the race to stay on the right side of. Tilys Tale has been kept busy this season with eight runs under her belt. She continues to hold her form and came close once again at Thirsk last time out so warrants respect. Star Promise won a poor race at Southwell at his second attempt. This race looks a little hotter so a personal best will be required. Patch Patch is the form horse in the race and can land back to back victories.
