Verdict

There look to be one or two horses in this that can be considered to be on the up with THE SWEENEY at the head of that queue and he looks as though he can build on his win from last time. Both Wynford and Travertine return from break with this right-handed circuit looking as though that will suit the former, the latter could do with reverting to 3m but is still capable of a big run here. Oxford Blu is another who will appreciate this trip based on his handicap form so far while Iniciar shouldn’t be left out of the equation as he returns to hurdles.
  1. The Sweeney
