Castle Keep showed promise at Ludlow last April but hasn’t raced since and SWAPPED will be fancied to take advantage of this drop back in grade having finished second in a Class 2 at Lingfield in January, despite his penalty. Pembroke ran twice in maiden points in Ireland last year and his yard won this in 2020 with a useful sort while Abingworth and Give Me A Cuddle are likely improvers.
