Scottish raider who won twice last term at 1m2f but tackles a new trip here off 4lb higher than his last success. May struggle to deny top weight on first start back.
Full brother to three separate Group 2 winners but failed to score in six attempts for John Gosden. Good start for new connections when second at Newcastle last week and should strip fitter for that. Champion apprentice takes over and claims 3lb.
Off the mark at fourth attempt in 1m2f fillies maiden handicap at Ffos Las in August. Disappointed back there soon after and not raced since. Tackles 1m4f for first time and not impossible this well bred filly might imporve for the step up in trip.
Fair dual purpose performer but has been lightly raced in recent seasons. Yard going well and shaped nicely when prominent for much of way here over 1m2f last week. Stays this trip and not out of it off having eased 2lb and with top jockey booked.
Hit form last August easily winning two Ffos Las handicaps but suffered breathng issues both subsequent runs. Has had wind surgery and interesting to see if that has done the trick as he bids to make a fresh start.
Rattled off hat-trick spring 2019 at between 1m4-2m but looked in handicapper's grip after. Usually needs a few runs to find his feet so others make more appeal here given his seven-month absence.
Six-time hurdles winner but just 1-15 on Flat and hasn't run on the level for four years. Returns 6lb lower than last Flat turf outing and won a couple of hurdles in Channel Islands last summer.
Has shown little in four turf outings and both career wins have come on Fibresand at Southwell. Out of form there though during winter and hard to get excited about as he returns to action.
Seven-race middle-distance maiden who makes debut for new connections having previously been trained by Mick Easterby. Will probably improve for the run following nine months off the track.
Ended last season a high with successive 1m6f h'cap wins at Redcar. Won't lack for stamina but fitness has to be taken on trust dropping back to 1m4f and runs off highest mark for over two years.

SWIFT WING is bred to be smart but didn't quite live up to his pedigree in two seasons with John Gosden. He made a really good start though for new connections when second at Newcastle recently and can start to make up for lost time and win this finale. Tigerskin won twice before suffering breathing problems last season so wind surgery may well make a big difference. He rates a danger if back to his best, while Esprit De Baileys has the former champion on board and ran with credit on his return so comes into the reckoning too. Alvaro may prove the pick of the remainder.
