It's a bit of a surprise to see Hedge End bidding for a hat-trick over 7f as the style of her recent wins over longer trips suggests she needs further. Captain Swift was doing his best work in the closing stages over a mile here last time and DUTCH ART DEALER makes more appeal. He produced a good turn of foot to win a shade cosily over 6f at Windsor and Paul Cole's colt gets the nod on his handicap bow. Sweet P won her maiden over track and trip and should figure along with Hipz, who landed a claimer at Kempton last month and is less exposed than Intense Feeling.
