Verdict

Sword Beach won twice on the Flat at Windsor in the summer and is an interesting newcomer but PASO DOBLE does set a decent standard. He is penalised but was a shade unlucky in a handicap at Kempton four weeks ago having run in a Grade 2 on his return to action. Jeremy The Jinn might be the danger having won a bumper in May, though the once-raced Mister Marbles is also worth a market check.
