This looks a good opportunity for PERFECT SWISS to land a double. He took to this surface in no uncertain manner when romping home over course and distance and a penalty may not be enough to anchor him today. Luscifer missed out on a hat-trick of course wins when second last time while Fieldsman never figured over 7f here last week having won over track and trip earlier with Star Of St James well beaten. Parallel World represents last year’s winning yard and Fred slides further down the weights.
