It would be no surprise to see Swilly Sunset run well on his first try over hurdles. Glendun is probably capable of better but ARCH MY BOY (NAP) beat two subsequent winners when quickening clear in a Fakenham maiden seven weeks ago and should have few problems defying a penalty. Takbeer won over 2m at Ludlow last May but gives the impression he’d benefit from a step up in trip now.
