Winner eight times in 75 races including seven here (three of those over this trip). Well beaten so far in 2017 and more needed if he's to take this contest.

Victorious on good-to-firm ground on his most recent start at the end of last month. Races off a 3lb higher mark today and remains of interest on his first outing over this trip.

Winner over an extended 7f at Chester (good-to-firm) in June 2015 and placed a number of times since. Well held in five starts since joining this yard and others make more appeal here.

Forecasts

Swilly Sunset (5/4), Chicago Star (7/2), Fair Selene (9/2), Carcharias (7/1), Pick A Little (16/1), Topology (16/1), Peak Storm (20/1), Primrose Place (25/1), Doctor Bong (25/1), Blackadder (25/1)

Verdict

SWILLY SUNSET can complete a hat-trick by winning this concluding 1m handicap. The selection has looked a gelding on the up in recent starts and can defy an 8lb rise here at the chief expense of Carcharias who finished runner-up behind the selection when the pair met at Brighton earlier this month. Fair Selene has finished placed on her last three starts and can claim third in this contest.
