Verdict

SWIPED stuck to his task well when runner-up at Salisbury 3 weeks ago and with 1m expected to be within range, he looks the answer. Musical Soldier and Tough Date are viable rivals.

1	Below market expectations both starts at 2 yrs and, after 9 months off (had been gelded), finished last of 5 in maiden at Windsor (6f) last month. Blinkers on switched to a handicap and much more like it when second of 14 at Salisbury 3 weeks ago. Up in trip and should be a big factor. 1st Pick 1 Swiped Jockey: Rhys Clutterbuck Trainer: Ralph Beckett J: Rhys Clutterbuck T: Ralph Beckett	96	-	-	-	40%

12	Made all over 7f at Wolverhampton last month. Beaten favourite twice since but runner-up effort back at that venue 11 days ago was a sound one. Should be in the mix back at 1m with apprentice taking over. 2nd Pick 12 Musical Soldier (Ire) Jockey: Libby Swallow Trainer: Ollie Sangster J: Libby Swallow T: Ollie Sangster	95	-	-	-	8%

9	Tough mark on what he achieved in his qualifying runs and yet to make a significant impact in handicaps. This is a slight drop in grade, at least. 3rd Pick 9 Tough Date (Ire) Jockey: George Bass Trainer: Jack Channon J: George Bass T: Jack Channon	98	-	-	-	15%
