In depth

Verdict

Swift Emperor scored over track and trip in June and a couple of winners have come out of that race. He should be in the mix again but PYJAMA PARTY is just preferred. The latter went close on his handicap debut in better company at Sandown when eight lengths clear of the rest and can go one better in this. Glad Tidings won a Hamilton maiden race in good style three weeks ago but beat little while both Wind In My Sails and Cosmic Ray have struggled off higher marks since last month's victories. Bright Flash has shown little so far this year.
