      Verdict

      Swift Bird has been thereabouts in better company this year, finishing a four-length fourth to Sir Henry Cecil's Panoptic on her latest start at Doncaster last week - she has obvious claims dropped in grade. Cecil runs Celestyna here but she looked very one-paced on her reappearance at Yarmouth, though the extra furlong should help. Jockey bookings suggest Semmsu is the pick of Luca Cumani's pair but that isn't saying much and PERFECT CRACKER is much preferred. He'd been off the track for a while before finishing fifth at Goodwood in April and absent since. But Clive Cox's gelding clearly has ability and could easily be good enough top get off the mark in this.
