Verdict

ORIN SWIFT has gone close over 2m on a couple of occasions since scoring over today’s trip at Nottingham in April. He looks worth another chance in his current form. Victoria Drummond returns to action 8lb higher than when landing a double on the all-weather at the end of last year while Swordbill won at Doncaster recently but is upped in class off a higher mark today. Amourice is back on a winning mark and won over track and trip last season and Potters Lady Jane is not badly treated on her best form.
