13/2

Fifteen runs since last win in 2018. 10/3, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and this 5-y-o is likely to give another good account.

9/2

Four-time course winner, the latest in December. Respectable third of 7 in handicap (7/2) at this C&D 9 days ago. Shade more needed, but she's high on the shortlist all the same.

Forecasts

Perfect Swiss (11/10), Liamba (9/2), The Great Heir (13/2), Silver Dust (17/2), Borsdane Wood (10/1), Global Melody (12/1), Daafr (18/1)

PERFECT SWISS boasts a solid all-weather record (form figures on artificial surfaces read 2117221312) and he looks the one to be on. Tim Easterby's charge was comprehensively outpointed by Star of St James here 12 days ago, but he pulled nicely clear of the rest and the winner gave that form a boost when going in again here on Friday. The Great Heir and Liamba can fill the places.
