STOICAL PATIENT (NAP) has been raised a further 9lb as she bids for a hat-trick. But Jamie Moore could afford to ease her down at Fontwell last time and she scored over course and distance before that. Finnegan's Garden won off today’s mark at Leicester back in May and should be sharper for a recent comeback run along with last month’s Lingfield third Sir Hubert and Easter In Paris. Le Coeur Net was still in contention when unseating four from home at Fontwell a week ago and could go also well.
