In depth
Verdict
Swiss Pride placed in a tougher race at Newbury last time while Eye Of The Water went close over 7f here recently. Handytalk placed over track and trip in June and Clashaniska beat Hagia Sophia when successful at the track earlier this month, But RHUBARB (NAP) has been racing in higher grade sprints at Windsor since landing a hat-trick of course wins earlier in the summer and gets another chance back at this lower level.
