Dawn Raider showed a bit more at Wetherby 11 days ago while Cudgel is back on a winning mark, though does best at Hexham. Fix At All tries a new trip while Aire Valley Lad looks a hard ride so this can go to PATIENT OWNER, a fair second on his chase debut at Uttoxeter when the first three pulled well clear of the remainder.
