Verdict
Swords winning sequence was halted last week but he can get back on the winning trail here at the main expense Sir Sandicliffe and Adage. The selections rider appeared to be unaware of the eventual winners tactics last time, as the winning rider poached a vital number of lengths turning into the straight and Swords could never real him in. Off the same mark here Swords will take some beating. Sir Sandicliffe was stepped up in trip last time and did stay but more often than not finds a couple too good while Adage is a three time course winner and has slipped to what looks a feasible mark. Natural Action and Spume are others to consider. Natural Action has retained a consistent level of form and has place claims but Swords is given the nod.
