Verdict
Switzerland was a shade disappointing when a losing favourite at Lingfield on his handicap bow and he's taken on with SHAMAAL NIBRAS here. The latter won his maiden at this track in June and although he struggled in nurseries after that, Richard Hannon's colt won't have to improve much to score in this company on his return. Performing Pocket and Equation Of Time are recent maiden winners who could figure and Henry Bee finished a close-up second over C&D last time on his handicap debut. Gabrial's Bounty is a dual winner over 6f and could prove best of the more exposed challengers.
