      Verdict

      The useful hurdler Knight In Purple, five times a winner over timber and successful in a bumper, could just need this after a long break and it's a stronger maiden than normal for this track. Suffice was strongly supported on his return after a break at Lingfield a month ago but just failed to hold Srinigar Girl over that 1m2f trip. He's an obvious threat to all while his former stablemate Roc De Prince may benefit from a change of surroundings and had some decent form at the start of his career last summer. Rayadour hasn't shown too much in his two starts since arriving from France though there should be more to come but it's FULL SWING who gets the nod. Roger Varian's charge made a belated debut at Lingfield where he wasn't fancied but ran well behind Sir Michael Stoute's Elysian and with that under his belt can progress enough to take this.
