Verdict
Three recent winners return to action including Swiss Ace, who had Justcallmepete back in fourth when scoring at Newcastle. Arctician scored at Kempton but is upped in class but WYVERN drops back down a grade having returned to winning ways over track and trip last month. He can defy a 2lb rise and go in again. Noisy Night has a bit to find with the selection but Hodler returns from a lay-off with a shout.
