      In depth

      Verdict

      Swing Alone ran below par on the Fibresand at Southwell last time but his earlier defeat of Brocklebank at Lingfield gives him the beating of both Rebellious Guest and Spes Nostra. Tryster is the least exposed but upped in class on his first start since July and Tatting is hard to fancy in his current poor form. Gaelic Silver arrives in fine fettle but this is tougher and DOCS LEGACY (NAP) is preferred. The latter scored in this grade at Wolverhampton on his latest start and Jack Garritty's allowance negates a 5lb rise in the weights.
