Reverse Swing looks to have the class and form to win this seller with Desert Spa and Donatus all worthy of mention. With the Champ on board Reverse Swing looks a cut above the rest. His win in similar company at Worcester last time out reads well and is worth siding with again. Desert Spa has a lot of weight to carry with his seven pound penalty after his recent Hereford win, but with a seven pound claiming jockey on board enters calculations as does Donatus who has not been seen out since winning a chase at Uttoxeter this time last year. But for the winner we return to Reverse Swing.
