Swissal and Winnetka have been thereabouts over 6f recently and the former has won over today’s trip in the past. Swinging Eddie went close in a seller here last time but Gold Coast is preferred on a recent second over track and trip. FAR FROM A RUBY looked to have improved over the winter judged on a comeback run at Lingfield when caught at the line. She won’t start 40/1 this time and Bill Muir’s filly can open her account. Azets and Sea Storm return to action with a shout and the latter debuts for new connections.
