Verdict

Alan Swinbank has an admirable strike rate at this course especially when taking into account the large amount of runners he has and PAINTED TAIL is expected to take to the surface. She takes a drop in class having finished fourth at Doncaster last time and makes more appeal than out-of-form stablemate Sartingo and recent Wolverhampton winner Mr Chocolate Drop, who has been placed here before. Multiple C&D winner General Tufto recorded his latest victory here in January and remains well handicapped on his best form while Hits Only Jude is another capable of winning off his current mark on his day.
