Brokopondo was having only his second start here when brought with a late challenge to snatch the spoils in November. He's up 5lb but a wide draw suits his hold-up style and he should get into the picture again. Winning bumper SWIFT HARRY has run really well in his two starts on the track and was conceding Shukhov 16lb when beaten a couple of lengths when last seen in November with Danequest the same distance back in third. He still looks on a fair rating after just a 1lb rise and can gain his first success under Flat rules. Gun Shoot has only one victory to his credit in 17 starts on the all-weather while Masterchippy is still a maiden though produced his best run to date behind Gold Not Silver last month.
