None arrive in particularly good form with David's Beauty running poorly at Bath last time having won at Chepstow before that and Haydock winner Toni's A Star disappointing on her latest start. But SWENDAB finished a bit closer at Bath recently and won off a higher mark than today's at Kempton earlier this year - it could be his turn again. Lady Joanna Vassa wasn’t beaten that far at Musselburgh and an apprentice takes 7lb off her back for this while the inconsistent Staffa is capable at this level if in the mood.
