Sheik'n Swing swapped hands for 5,200 gns after a smooth success in a Brighton seller last month and with only two career outings to her name, is still open to improvement at this level. She made her debut on the all weather at Southwell last season, so the surface should not be too much of a problem but the step up in trip could hinder her progression slightly at this stage. Chalfont, on the other hand, shaped up well over a similar trip at Windsor late last month and could take all the beating here. Trudie is another who has questions to answer over this distance and Visitation may prose the biggest threat.
