A very difficult race to start the card and we will just side with Swayze, Satindra and Ful Of Grace could be the main dangers. Mick Quinn's charge has just had the one outing this season and never got in a blow, however that was a much better race than this, he should improve for the run and has solid claims on his victory at Redcar last season. Satindra showed first signs of form last time out in a class five handicap at Wolverhampton. He is quite well in on official ratings and should appreciate this drop in class. Ful Of Grace had no chance against the imroving Etoile D'Or last time out but was clear second best and could be vying for some more place money. Wickedish has at least managed a recent victory and looks best of the others, but Swayze has strong claims on last season's form and he gets our vote.
