Headgear is applied to Swift Verdict on the back of a disappointing effort at Doncaster and My Vision is fitted with cheekpieces having placed over today’s trip at Windsor on his handicap debut. Dream With Me finished last of three at Leicester on his handicap bow while CALEDONIAN CRUSADE returned to action with a decent placed effort at Kempton. The winner has subsequently gone in again and he gets a speculative vote in an open affair representing last year’s winning yard. Boss Power and Riviera Belle are others to note stepping up in trip and handicapping for the first time.
