        Verdict

        SWISS CONNECTION is at his best here and recorded his third success at the track on his return from a lay-off. He can confirm running with runner-up Gleniffer and go in again. Harry's Ridge and Sambucca Spirit have their first outings of the year and the former won at Nottingham when last in action but Klopp has struggled since scoring at the track in December and Arcavallo is preferred back on the Tapeta after a below par effort at Southwell.
