Verdict

Rum Swizzle is due to run at Newmarket in the afternoon so it would be significant if she re-routes to Surrey. Plymouth Sound has every chance on his best form but still looks in search of an optimum trip, despite being a five-year-old so is passed over. IMPRESSIVE DAY has had his problems but his last two outings have suggested he's going to realise at least some of the juvenile potential shown in 2015. His recent neck second to an improving sort was his best run to date and he can regain the winning thread off an unchanged mark. Hepplewhite had to be dropped into selling grade to finally get off the mark but hasn't run too badly on two of three starts since joining Willie Muir and is respected.
