After landing a maiden over timber four years ago, Snow Patrol reached the dizzy heights of 119 but hasn't won since and is now rated just 73, which is probably still too high judged on recent form. Canshebemine won a selling handicap at Newton Abbot last March but is now 10lb higher and has a long absence to overcome. Swiss Guard is bred to win a Derby but has shown very little since joining Tim Vaughan from Ireland a year ago. JUST BEWARE hasn't been in the best of form and doesn't have a particularly good strike-rate but she won here in November and her rider's claim should help.
