Verdict
Patrickswell bids for his hat-trick after a couple of victories over sprint trips. However, he hasn't won over further than 7f since 2008 and SPIRIT OF XAAR makes more appeal. David Marnane's charge didn't fare too badly in much better company last time with Bold Thady Quill behind and went close at Naas on his penultimate start. He gets the nod here ahead of recent Leopardstown runner-up Lily's Star and Elusive Ridge, who could figure dropped in class.
