SWAHEEN landed a Class 2 handicap over the track and trip in October and though the ground was soft he's won on fast going in the past and can take this. Rite To Reign is better over further and doesn't win often enough but the very useful hurdler Sign Of A Victory had the pace to score over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in December and has to be respected. Shalamzar also scored over that trip at Haydock last month and is only 3lb higher while Two Jabs was going on at the finish on this track last time and will appreciate the extra two furlongs.
