Little Swift failed to land the odds at Ripon last time on the back of going close at Newbury and several of these will be looking to improve past David Simcock's filly. Clodianna finished a lot closer when runner-up at Salisbury last time while Little Kipling and Laila Honiwillow also showed improvement on their latest starts but IF WINTER COMES is preferred. The latter showed her inexperience when running green at Lingfield on her introduction but still finished second and should know more today.
