Swift Sailor gets the tentative vote here with Night Warrior and Hugs Destiny rating the main dangers. The selection would win this easily on flat form but he was very disappointing last time out when his steering appeared to go, and if he is more amenable here he will be very hard to beat under conditions that suit . Night Warrior rates the main danger on his best form he is dropping in class here and should be closely watched in the market. Hugs Destiny is another that could go well but this trip appears to stretch his stamina and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Of the remainder Circumspect hails from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Swift Sailor to minimum stakes.
