The pin might be needed here but from a shortlist of Cornus, Charlie Tipple, Society Music and Swinbrook, it is the last-named who gets the nod. The selection must have been pleasing connections at home over the winter as he has been gambled on both of his runs since coming back to the racecourse. Whilst he found one too good at Pontefract first time out, his subsequent win at Southwell was pleasing and he should run well with the step back up to seven furlongs unlikely to pose any problems. King's Bastion has to be respected if returning in the same form as when successful at Redcar in October, whilst Kenmore and Starlight Gazer should both be better for recent runs. Westport is one to watch in the betting, whilst Angaric has fair claims on the pick of his runs. Society Music stays well so might just be outpaced on this track now dropped in trip, whilst Charlie Tipple only went down narrowly last time out and the form looks solid. Tencendur also deserves a mention, however it is Swinbrook who receives the vote.
