Swoon finished third at Doncaster back in April but hasn’t raced since while both Crema Inglesa and Topanticipation placed off their current marks at Goodwood and York respectively. Pretty Sweet is preferred to Tregony returning to this longer trip but HELLO JUMEIRAH (NAP) is expected to improve now handicapping. The latter missed an engagement in a valuable handicap at Haydock last week due to the soft going and a bold bid is expected in this.
