In depth
Verdict
Perfect Swiss is best on the all-weather but may have needed the run at Pontefract. Soaring Star ran well stepped up to a mile at Carlisle while Notforalongtime was a course and distance winner last June but has had a gelding operation and wind surgery since. Tahitian Prince was a winner over 7f here in March and successful over this trip at Kempton last month but DOLLAR BID (NAP) is only now beginning to fulfil his potential and he’s only gone up 4lb for an ultimately-comfortable victory at Lingfield when making his handicap debut.
