Verdict

Sir Henry Cotton has been winning lower grade sprints. He’ll handle any cut in the ground but the going is a worry for Swayze, who went close at this level before running well at Ascot. Meredif faced a tougher task at York on her handicap debut but GANNON GLORY is another unexposed type. The maiden winner is expected to show further progress now handicapping and his yard is in fine form.
