The 1m2f at Kempton seemed to stretch BOMBARDMENT's stamina on his reappearance but he still ran well for third. He gets the vote over this shorter trip ahead of stablemate Blue Army while 200,00gns purchase Holiday Magic is preferred to Nabeel of Charlie Appleby's runners. Swordbearer races on Turf for the first time after placing on the all-weather and should be thereabouts along with Orion's Bow. Gleese The Devil, Shaf and William Of Orange are others to note making their racecourse debuts.
