Cruiser has been raised a harsh-looking 8lb for a close-up second at Windsor but Swiftly Done continues to slip down the weights and could figure if rediscovering his best. Ocean Tempest is proving hard to win with this year though looks sure to be in the mix once again while Tevez and Noble Citizen have been in good form over 7f of late. BORDER LEGEND hasn't raced since May but has leading claims on last year's best efforts on Turf and gets a speculative vote on his Polytrack debut.
