In depth
Verdict
A winner over 7f at Kempton, Invincible Swagger found one too good when carrying a penalty last time. It remains to be seen if GEORGE PEABODY fares any better under his penalty but he scored in good style at Doncaster on his return to action and this extra distance looks well within his compass. Alfayaath never threatened when third at Wolverhampton but Wizard D'amour was narrowly beaten at Redcar in November while Maxios Show and Night Terrors are newcomers to note.
