      Verdict

      DRAW SWORDS was placed again at Wolverhampton on his handicap debut but he finished ahead of Upgrade and meets the latter on better terms in this. The Gosden colt is also preferred to stablemate and newcomer Keswick, a brother to the useful Martlet and not out of this either. Star General is another debutant to note while Speedo Boy posted an improved effort when third over a mile at Wolverhampton last time and makes more appeal than Vrika Bay and Mambo Dancer.
