      Verdict

      Sea Swift was held up in a change of tactics, which could make for a falsely run event, where the presence of Bhutan is fascinating, while he will have to bring his A game to trouble the improving ABYSSINIAN , whose yard are six from 25 at this meeting in the last four years, with their three-year-olds,boasting a 24% strike-rate.
