HUSSAR BALLAD finally returned to form when ending a long losing run over track and trip last month. He’s been raised 5lb but has won off similar marks in the past. Frozon failed to cope with only a 3lb rise last time having won here before that while Captain Swift’s recent placed efforts have been over longer trips. The Way You Dance has a shout on a recent third at Goodwood but Innish Man hasn’t raced since January and Gold Merlion’s earlier win at Lingfield came in a seller.
