William Haggas sent SWANSDOWN here a week ago for a similar race over a mile and she probably would have won more easily but for being checked. She can defy a penalty though Kempton winner Gavi Di Gavi has to be a threat despite a slightly disappointing effort on a return visit. Mi Capricho completed a double on fast ground at Musselburgh in May but had earlier been well beaten on his only Tapeta start at Wolverhampton. Rock Boy Grey has never won but has performed well here and at Wolverhampton and can get into contention.
