Johnston's Swallow may well have found his latest start coming too soon after his Towcester success and Jonjo O'Neill's gelding looks worth another chance today, getting the vote ahead of Acertack and Gipsy Cricketer. The last mentioned races off the same mark as when last successful but was beaten off the same mark last time and may be booked for a place at best. Saorsie is hard to recommend on recent form, while Just Muckin Around is gradually slipping to a fair mark but has shown little worthwhile form of late. Acertack has been running creditably well of late and has to be considered but Johnston's Swallow has a progressive profile and is preferred.
