Patriotic arrives in good heart from the all-weather, though today's trip has stretched his stamina to the limit on previous occasions. There's no such doubts concerning BROCKFIELD as he won over track and trip in October. An apprentice's allowance means he can effectively race off a lower mark on his reappearance and Mel Brittain's charge looks to have every chance. Tawseef is another at home in the conditions but is 9lb higher than when scoring at Brighton last term while Mishhar has scope for improvement on her first start since last May. Royal Sea won twice on the all-weather over the winter and may be capable of better back on the Turf and Dream Prospector finished closer when stepped up to today's distance at Kempton earlier in the month.
