Bint Al Anood won at Windsor last month and is 3lb higher while Swinton Noon has won four times on the all-weather since last seen on Turf. Cuban Cigar also returns to this surface having won at Kempton in March while Serious Intention placed at Pontefract recently and stablemate Seasett makes his handicap debut. DISTINCTION never figured in a tougher race at Newmarket on his return to action but finished runner-up over track and trip at the end of last year and Karl Burke’s charge gets the vote racing off the same mark today.
