First run since leaving Conrad Allen when fourth of 5 in claimer at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 9/1) 18 days ago. Might strip fitter for the run and he's on a reasonable mark.

Forecasts

Martineo (15/8), Swiss Pride (2/1), Shecandoo (4/1), Sir Hector (7/1), Harbour Storm (16/1), Apollinaris (22/1), Busby (40/1)

SWISS PRIDE is thriving, goes well at this track, and found only one too good last time, so he's fancied to resume winning ways with the benefit of Ryan Moore in the plate for the first time. Martineo is knocking on the door from a handy mark, so he's feared most ahead of Sir Hector.
