Verdict
SWISS CHEER beat a subsequent dual winner over track and trip in February with the re-opposing pair Tough Remedy and Agent Of Fortune further behind. Jonathan Portman’s charge may well defy a 6lb rise on that form. De Vegas Kid has been thereabouts over 7f but has a poor strike-rate on the all-weather but Kings Highway won his only outing of 2019 over course and distance and returns to action with headgear fitted for the first time. Mutasaamy and Rum Baba are less exposed than Toro Dorado with the former making most appeal.
