Verdict
Swords is definitely a fan of the all-weather and has won here before whilst Red Willow seemed to prefer a drop in trip last time so it is interesting that connections increase the trip back to a mile and a half today. Iguacu has lost to Swords before last year and appears out of form so is hard to fancy. Mister Frosty offered a better effort at Yarmouth last time but is harshly up 4lb as a result so instead we turn to PETSAS PLEASURE who is nicely weighted after dropping down the ratings and can take advantage from what looks a competitive mark. He stayed on really well towards the finish over two furlongs less last time and with the step-up in trip he can score.
