Sworn Tigress is easily the pick on official ratings but these claimers don't always follow the form book and George Baker's mare disappointed when favourite for a seller at Wolverhampton last time. She's also unproven on Fibresand unlike YOSSI, who has two solid recent C&D efforts to his name and is sure to run his race again. The Brian Ellison pair Ravi River and Castle Myth both have each-way claims at the weights but have their stamina to prove over this much longer trip.
