        Verdict

        SWISS CROSS makes a quick reappearance having beaten Woolfall Sovereign and Even Stevens over 6f here last week. Phil McEntee's charge is the one to beat on that evidence. Ajjaadd finished ahead of Harrison George at Kempton last month but still looks too high in the weights while Last Sovereign and Seeking Magic are closely matched on recent collateral form behind Noverre To Go. Last Sovereign makes most appeal of that pair over today's minimum trip. Six Wives is preferred to Southwell winner Royal Bajan of the remainder.
