Race preview
Despite losing his irons on the run-in, Thomas Dowson kept RIBEYE up to his work to land a second career victory at Hexham last time out. The eight-year-old relished the step back to this trip and he rates the one to beat off 6lb higher. Croagh Patrick has been a consistent customer of late and demands the utmost respect after a gallant second at Haydock on his latest outing. The handicapper has loosened his grip on Big Difference and he completes the shortlist now back off his last winning mark.
