        Verdict

        VALENTINO SWING is fancied to get back to winning ways here at the main expense of Dvinsky and Kingsgate Castle. The selection was well-beaten here last month but the race didn't go to plan and he is rated better than that effort. His previous runs this winter give him a solid chance today and he may not be done with just yet off this mark of 63. Kingsgate Castle is consistent and was a good second to the selection here in December, Espy won a Wolverhampton seller last time out and is respected but the race panned out perfectly and he may be flattered, whilst Kheley is consistent and the filly knows how to win here. With plenty of pace in the race Dvinsky may not get his own way out in front but he is as tough as nails and is sure to relish this drop back to six furlongs, whilst Tom Folan and Misaro both come here on the back of decent runs. Old stamp The Tatling is not ruled out either, however the nod goes to Valentino Swing in a competititve race.
