Verdict
Jamie Codd's presence on Heaney is a positive and his mount will be better for a recent run between the flags, his first since June. B L Swagger won two good-class opens in the spring and ran well behind Western Man at Ballynoe at the beginning of the month while Dantes King scored at Horse and Jockey last month but only got as far as the first when sent to Ludlow a couple of weeks ago. The latter is a fair performer at this level and looks the threat to MOUNT COLAH, who was racing at Grade 2 level just over a year ago. He's nowhere near that class nowadays but was having his first start in almost a year when runner-up at Loughbrickland earlier this month and a change of scenery can help him back to winning ways.
