Simon Walker teams up with last week's course and distance third Swift Blade, who is only a couple of pounds higher than when successful at Goodwood last September. Tony Carroll runs Luggers Hall, Missionaire and track and trip winner Urban Space while No Such Number is entitled to go close again under a useful amateur. ROYAL ETIQUETTE is no world-beater but usually runs his race here and, though no match for Nave over course and distance last time, should give Gina Andrews a decent ride. He gets a tentative vote with Capitol Gain and Teide Peak possibly best of the rest.
