Credit Swap, Micheals Boy and Sweet Kiss make the shortlist here with Credit Swap, from an in form yard taken to collect. Sweet Kiss is only a modest performer but shaped well at Yarmouth last time, finishing a close fourth. That was a step up on previous efforts, and if the progress is maintained she can go well. Micheals Boy has run well on both his starts to date, finishing third on each occasion. The races looked only modest affairs though, and a place may be the best he can hope for. After a very promising fourth on debut behind some classy types, Credit Swap was only run out of it close home at Salisbury on his re-appearance. He will come on for the run like many Cumani runners, and this son of Dktat out of a winning sprinter looks too strong for his rivals here and gets a confident vote.
