SWISSTERIOUS was expected to do much better in the Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar last time but wasn’t at his best. A repeat of his earlier second in a conditions race at Doncaster would see him go close on today’s terms and Karl Burke trained last year’s inaugural winner. Fares Kodiac has plenty to find with the selection on Doncaster running while Concierge is penalised for earlier wins but Cosmic Law has been competing in Pattern company and should go well. Implicit notched-up a hat-trick of handicap wins during the summer and the progressive Princes Des Sables won for the fourth time in succession when scoring at Chester but still has something to find at the weights.
