Ron Harris has his runners going well and SWISS ART is taken to win this seller off topweight, while Chocolicious and Captain Cavendish are worth a second look. Swiss Art attempts a hat-trick here after two wins in this grade over a mile, both coming at Southwell. He is, however, decent over 7f and so this drop back in trip is not a major concern. Chocolicious won a Leicester seller over 6f earlier in the month and returns to this distance today, which pedigree suggests is within his compass and he is respected, though Charlietoo is 5lbs better off with him for a head beating that day and looks capable of reversing those placings. Captain Cavendish represents a yard that likes a punt and if there is support for this course and distance winner, who was out of sorts when last seen in February, then it should be noted. Neither Invincible Miss nor Abhainn are ruled out from making significant improvement, but Swiss Art gets the vote.
