RAZOR WIND, a winner here in December, couldn't quite cop with an 8lb rise on a return visit in a better race last month and can return to winning ways. Ansaab almost caught Gold Trail over the course and distance last month and the winner followed-up a couple of weeks later so the form looks strong. Swing Alone has won four races on Polytrack - three of them over this track and trip - and he's gradually dropping to a winnable mark. Jack Of Diamonds beat the selection here in December and is better off at the weights but that was over a mile and he was well beaten on his only start over this trip.
