Verdict

SWORD BEACH and Hit The Rocks finished 1-2 at Plumpton in March. Though they’ve enjoyed differing fortunes since, the former is a pound better off so can confirm the form and get back to winning ways here. Mickyh has won at Plumpton and Stratford since the turn of the year and should give a good account again while Good Time Ahead, Henry Box Brown and Gibraltarian all have place claims. Grandee remains unexposed but may need this.
