In depth

Verdict

Swiftly Done has solid claims off a 4lb higher mark after scoring at Newmarket last month. Paul Hanagan looks sure to have him in the firing line, but I'm Super Too will need to improve again in this company after winning at Hamilton recently. Casino Night won at the same track in June but failed to figure off a higher mark last time, and a good run from Benny The Bear in the previous race would increase confidence in Music Festival's chances, having finished runner-up to the former over 7f here on Saturday. However, MARJURY DAW has been competing in better company most of this season and her improved efforts of late suggest she's ready to strike in this lesser grade.
