A few with chances but SWIPED had looked on the up when scoring at Bath and is taken to quickly resume winning ways in a switch of headgear having gone in snatches when runner-up there last time. Happy Banner is knocking on the door and rates a major danger though, while both Ritaal and Play Me can also play a prominent role.
