An ultra competitive straight mile handicap is the feature event of the afternoon, with Zetland Gold Cup winner and dual 1m2f course winner Briardale heading the weights. He's much respected, but it'll take a massive effort to follow up with a 10lb rise. Top Notch Tonto is heading in the other direction, and could outrun his odds with his trainer turning to the AW in an attempt to reinvigorate this once classy performer. Qaffaal and Constantino are both solid perfomers over this straight mile but possibly a fraction high in the weights, whilst support for Examiner shouldn't go unnoticed with Stuart Williams already landing one valuable handicap here in 2017 with Suzi's Connoisseur. Although SWIFT EMPEROR needs to improve a fraction to take a hand, it's feasible that we've not yet quite seen the best of this unexposed sort, and with proven C&D form on the table, he's a speculative play at decent odds.
