Verdict
Ominotago won her maiden here earlier in the year and Scrafton won over 1m6f at the track back in April but remains 6lb higher. SWIFT CEDAR (NAP) has recorded all three wins on the all-weather so far on this surface including his latest visit in March when scoring off today’s mark. He gets the vote to go in again while Good Time Ahead was placed over track and trip recently but Cousin Khee needs further to show his best. The unexposed Speciality is worth a second glance on only her second start for Ralph Beckett.
