Has really hit form since switched to this yard and tried on the AW. Possible ground with cut on turf won't be up his street and he's entitled to need this run after an absence.

Showed plenty of promise on his debut and while he has taken a while to come to hand this year, he bounced right back last time with an easy win at Pontefract last weekend. Leading claims under a 6lb penalty if he returns in the same form and copes with the softer conditions.

20/1
Progressive on the AW back at the start of 2015 but has slowly regressed since. Scored off a career low mark at Lingfield earlier in the month and has run well in two starts since but others look better handicapped and he's always looked like a better horse on the AW.

9/4
Career best when upped in class at Goodwood last time and only narrowly denied by a progressive sort. Seemed to appreciate the switch in tactics and good chance again if he goes from the front with little pace in the race.

Still a maiden and seemingly up against it off this kind of mark returned to handicaps in a deeper contest than the maiden he contested last time.

Good run over this trip last time out and should continue to progress. Still more to come and may be even better suited to further; jockey has an excellent record around here.

Interrupted career after making a promising last summer, finishing runner-up on debut before winning at Beverley on second start. May have needed his comeback run but has a bit to prove currently.

Yet to place in six starts and well beaten last time at Windsor. Plenty to prove against some well-handicapped looking rivals and unlikely to want soft ground.

Forecasts

Swiftsure (13/8), Road To Dubai (9/4), Italian Heiress (11/2), Roar (13/2), Jufn (7/1), Azzir (10/1), Broughtons Knight (12/1), Staff College (14/1), The Gay Cavalier (20/1), Canterbury Quad (22/1), Stamford Raffles (33/1)

Verdict

SWIFTSURE is hard to oppose and he will be hard to beat under a penalty provided the softer conditions don't prove a hindrance. Road To Dubai produced a career best last time and a lightly raced sort who could keep on improving while Italian Heiress gets the services of Gerald Mosse whose record of six wins from 19 rides at Newmarket speaks for itself.
  1. Swiftsure
  2. Road To Dubai
