Verdict

It is very hard to oppose the unexposed SWIPED, who had plenty in hand when getting off the mark over C&D and a 7lb rise may not be enough to stop him from following up. Post Rider showed more when third at Goodwood and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Naval Ensign and Nakaaha.

Top Tip: Swiped (5)
Watch out for: Post Rider (1)

SWIPED is a strong selection here. He built on a promising handicap debut when upped in trip here last time shedding his maiden tag. He had plenty in hand that day and has only gone up 7lb so will be tough to beat. C&D winner Sant Alessio is just 1lb above his last winning mark and has had excuses on both starts this year so is feared most. Post Rider can also provide a threat if building on her latest placed effort behind a well handicapped rival.
