Swiss Pride was sent off favourite over track and trip last time but could only manage third while BOMBASTIC was well beaten attempting to make all at Wolverhampton. But a return to less forcing tactics will suit David Evans’ charge as when runner-up in a higher grade sprint over course and distance last month and he gets another chance. Sir Rodneyredblood had the measure of Barrington when placed here earlier and can figure with a similar effort but Cappananty Con still looks a shade high in the weights.
