REBEL SWING was subsequently disqualified for interference having passed the post first at Towcester during the week. He should make amends in this lesser grade and Joanne Foster's charge gets the nod. Shooting Times is up 9lb for his win at Perth and runner-up Snuker has decent claims of reversing the form on better terms while Borolee will find this tougher than the seller he won at this track last time. Sierra Victor could figure if at his best after a year off the track while recent Southwell winner Dukeofchesterwood was engaged to run at Cartmel yesterday and Minstalad finished runnerup in a big field at Wetherby on Thursday though is 4lb out of the handicap.
