Verdict

Swanton Blue was runner-up in a handicap at Hamilton last month but is 3lb higher while Chicago School may finish closer dropping back down a grade for this. Stablemate Rainbow Rebel makes his handicap bow but Letbygonesbeicons won a nursery at Ffos Las in August albeit in heavy going and he has been well beaten since. Sunnua has gone backwards but SWIRRAL EDGE has caught the eye staying on well over 5f of late and this extra distance may well be what she needs to get her head in front now handicapping for the first time.
