It was soft ground when SWIFT WING made a belated debut at Ascot last month where he looked in need of experience. A full-brother to three Group 2 winners he should get off the mark here. Grenadier Guard makes a quick reappearance after a fair effort on good to soft at Ripon last week and the 125,000gn close relative of Gold Cup winner Order Of St George will have come on a bundle for the run. Geomatrician has been staying on one pace over shorter on quicker going while Navajo Pass takes a big step-up in trip after making a promising debut behind the smart Awe over 7f at Redcar in October.
