Verdict

Perfect Swiss won over a mile here on New Year’s Day but was still beaten a long way when second here last time. The Great Heir has gone close at Newcastle recently but never figured on this surface earlier and the returning Silver Dust also struggled on an earlier visit to this venue. Global Melody’s earlier success here came over 6f so another chance goes to LIAMBA, only third at the track last week but a course and distance winner before that. Borsdane Wood will be sharper for a recent comeback and is preferred to Daafr on previous winning form on the Fibresand.
