Verdict
Classic Seniority is of interest on this first run for Marjorie Fife. Signoret, a course and distance winner last time, is another three-year-old to keep on the right side as she appears progressive but it's another course and distance scorer, NATIVE FALLS, who makes greatest appeal. Hopefully, he'll break smartly as he's unquestionably most effective when able to dominate and stall 9 should offer the Swinbank inmate the opportunity to so do. Kommander Kirkup and Straits Of Malacca are respected, likewise recent winner Singeur and Ancient Cross who both continue to defy the years.
