In depth
Verdict
A competitive handicap and a high draw looks essential. Swynford Pleasure fits the bill nicely. At her best on fast ground, she has the ideal draw and comes here in good form. Alfano could prove troublesome after his close up 5th at Warwick. The third in that event Alincala, went on to win at Nottingham at the weekend. Yenaled has been running well of late, but is up another couple of pounds for getting beaten last time.
