Sea Cliff was pulled up when Saddlers Mot finished second over a slightly longer trip at Hexham in November but Karen Tutty's charge hasn't been seen since and struggles to get his head in front outside of selling company. Patavium has been raised 7lb for winning at Catterick but has the beating of De Chissler on that run. LEBANNA was beaten less than three lengths by the in-form Be Bop Boru here 10 days ago and the winner had earlier beaten recent course and distance victor Solway Dornal by eight lengths at Newcastle. If Tim Easterby's filly stays, she should open her account today.
