Not beaten too far when sixth of 14 over 1m1½f here (Grade 3) where he had two of these rivals behind two weeks ago; all his wins have been at a lower level; a course winner; drops in class; shown he can win fairly recently and ought to be considered.

Came home eighth, beaten 6l, 14 days ago in a Grade 3; successful seven times from 26 career starts (1m-1m4½f) and wasn't at his best last time out following some good runs; drops in class; respected as shown some ability on occasion and should be sharper for his recent return to action.

Verdict

It is hard to get away from FUTURE SWING. Marauding Horde looks a decent option, and Shoot The Rapids looks a big threat.
