Verdict
Credit Swap can put punters in credit here and he can get the better of Noble Citizen and Rum Jungle. Luca Cumani's colt ran a sound race last time when he was doing his best work at the finish over 6f. This step-up in trip should therefore suit and with ground conditions also in his favour it is hard to oppose him. Noble Citizen won well last time at Lingfield, but he had the run of the race that day and although he has a good draw today, he could be one to oppose. Rum Jungle is in good form, he has a good draw and he goes on the ground. Furthermore, this drop back in trip will suit as he did not appear to get home over a mile last time. He has to be respected, as does Carlitos Spirit who has been in good form of late. Credit Swap ticks plenty of boxes in this contest though and he should prove hard to beat.
