Verdict
Swiss Connection beat ROCKLEY POINT here back in November and is 6lb higher on his return. But the latter has placed over track and trip subsequently and may come out best on this occasion having after going close in a higher grade last time. The unexposed Manumission came up short when sent off favourite at Chelmsford though it’s too soon to write him off while Rebel Redemption has been thereabouts over 6f and Harrogate has switched yards since last in action.
