      Verdict

      Sir Michael Stoute’s recent winners have all been making their seasonal debuts and SWOON is taken to follow suit. A dual novice winner, the latter finished runner-up at Newmarket on her handicap debut in October and steps up in trip on her return to action. Sea King is another stepping up in distance having won over 1m2f at Newcastle while Choirmaster faded in the closing stages attempting to make all at Kempton on his comeback. Charles St makes his handicap bow and is preferred to Red Force One.
