Verdict

Afton View has the best recent form and is selected as the one to be on here. First Swallow and Eton Rifles are others to bear in mind. Eton Rifles drops in trip after finding a mile beyond him on his debut in June. He has been given plenty of time to get over the exertions and, with his yard back amongst the winners recently, the son of Pivotal can get each-way punters out of a jam (sorry) here. First Swallow has already tried a variety of distances and needs to start bucking up his ideas. Still, this is not a great race and his previous experience can stand him in good stead in this company. However, Afton View has really started to shine since he switched to the turf at the start of this season and he is well worth persevering with in a weak contest such as this.
