There are plenty in with chances in this handicap and the vote is given to SARWIN who is taken to complete the hat-trick; Rosko and Desert Destiny are also worth serious consideration. Alan Swinbank's 6-year-old recorded his first success on the turf last time out at Beverley when he beat Shadowtime. He idled in front a little that day so in the end he was good value for his winning margin and he could be worth persevering with. Rosko ran well when last seen out and this slight step-up in trip should suit so he is certainly in with a serious chance of troubling the judge. Desert Destiny is interesting as he was formerly top class for Godolphin and he is racing off a career low mark. If the market were to speak in his favour then it could pay to take the hint. Templetuohy Max has got some fair form on the all-weather but he has yet to win on the turf and we will stick with Sarwin who can continue his hot streak.
