        Verdict

        Plenty have been thereabouts of late including Goodwood runner-up Incentive. But SWANTON BLUE was beaten less than a length at the same track during the week and gets the nod dropping down a grade for this. Seamster slips further down the weights after placing over 5f again last time while Spanish Star had been threatening until disappointing when favourite at Brighton. Your Choice has tumbled down the weights and may prove best of the rest.
