Assuming SWIRRAL EDGE breaks on terms with the rest, she can't have any grumbles and has sound claims at the weights. The filly is worth a speculative investment at the predicted odds in what is a wide-open handicap. Others to consider include: Lucky Beggar, who is back on a very lenient mark despite being set to carry a penalty for winning at Wetherby, while Major Pusey has the benefit of a handy draw and also makes the shortlist. Henley, on the other hand, was the beneficiary of the stalls bias when scoring in bloodless style at Beverley and now needs a little luck on his side in this tougher looking contest. Bogart is unpredictable but does have a habit of cropping up every now and then, so, odds permitting, may be worth a saver for one of the places .
