SWELLTIME did it nicely over C&D under Seamie Herffernan last week and might be able to defy a 3 lb nudge from the handicapper. Gordon Elliott's Benz and Tony Martin's Sil Ver Klass are possible threats in this very open finale. Sea Sessions could also have a part to play if she's ready to roll on her first outing since the Cheltenham Festival in March.
