Boomerang Bob found only subsequent Listed winner Pretend too good in this last year and arrives in fine form. But PATRICK (NAP) was a progressive three-year-old sprinter and was beaten only a head on his first start since July when third at Lingfield at the start of the month - Richard Fahey's charge may just edge this. Barracuda Boy has found Spring Loaded too good in similar handicaps the last twice but Zac Brown ran well off today's mark over 5f here last time when ahead of Steelriver. Mappin Time has been running well at Southwell recently but was well beaten in last year's renewal off a similar mark.
