Despite his age, PATROLMAN has had just the six starts on the Flat. He opened his account over a slightly shorter trip here last week and has enough scope to confirm superiority with Lord Kenmare, General Bunching, Boronia and Coach Bombay. Zambezi Tiger returned a shock 66/1 winner here last month with Armed Guard a couple of lengths behind. The former will find this tougher off a 6lb higher mark and Palace Art could prove a bigger threat off her current mark having posted a better effort over track and trip on her on her recent comeback.
