Verdict

James Toller looks to have found a suitable opportunity for Swinbrook to open his account and he is given the vote ahead of General Feeling and Ex Mill Lady. The selection remains relatively unexposed and stepped up on previous efforts this term when chasing home Roger Charlton's Kind at Kempton earlier this month. His conqueror there franked the form when winning a better race at the same venue on Wednesday night and a reproduction of his last time out effort should suffice for Swinbrook. Sylvester Kirk's General Feeling ran his best race so far when a length fourth behind Bohoola Flyer at Windsor on Monday night and he rates a bigger threat than Ex Mill Lady. John Berry's filly was far from disgraced behind Catherine Wheel (a winner since) at Doncaster last month and hails from a stable in form. John Best's Otago failed to progress form his debut effort and is difficult to recommend, along with Lakeside Guy who is beginning to look exposed. Firecat and Ela Figura make limited appeal in a race that is taken to go to Swinbrook.
