Verdict
Triggered can’t get much lower in the weights but SWISS PRIDE boasts the better recent form, winning off a 3lb higher mark on Polytrack last month. Gilt Edge won off a higher mark last summer and Amathus has been running better than form figures would suggest. Haseef is still a maiden but best over this trip while Strike was a close fourth over course and distance last time and is a pound lower. Juan Les Pins only won a claimer at Redcar, however.
