      Verdict

      After winning his maiden at Lingfield, Bravo King was far from disgraced when tried in this grade over 7f at Yarmouth. But, considering he started out over a mile, it must be questionable that he'll have the pace for this trip. Swendab is chasing a hat-trick having scored at Doncaster and Windsor recently. A visor has certainly worked the oracle with John O'Shea's charge but he carries a penalty here and also has to prove himself on softer ground. That suggests CRUISE TOTHELIMIT will have his measure here and it's the latter that gets the vote. Successful over this trip on an easy surface at Windsor and Catterick last month, he can be excused his last two runs which were over further. Ron Harris' pair Sugar Beet and Belle Bayardo look up against it.
