        Verdict

        The consistent Perfect Swiss got his head back in front over track and trip last time and looks likely to be thereabouts at the finish again. Anif beat the former here earlier though hasn’t threatened since and TRAVELLER is preferred. The latter finished in front of both Always Fearless and Clay Regazzoni when going close over a longer trip at Wolverhampton recently but won three times over course and distance earlier in the year and may come good again back over today’s trip. Pacino has been in the mix lately looking to end a long losing run though this looks tougher than recent assignments.
