        Verdict

        THOU SWELL beat higher rated horses than these to win a seller over course and distance last month. He’s just preferred to Go On Gal, who has placed here the last twice now and finished ahead of Crakehall Lad on the first of those occasions. Powered went close at Kempton and acts on this surface but remains without a win in 20 starts while Toboggan's Gift was runner-up in last year’s renewal but has not raced since July.
