Verdict

SWISS PRIDE went close again here last time having won over track and trip before that. He looks worth sticking with in his current form with Ryan Moore’s presence another positive. Sir Hector has been thereabouts in all four outings since winning here in December with Apollinaris behind. He finished third at Chelmsford last month and can confirm running with Shecandoo while Martineo drops down in trip having found one too good over 7f at Kempton.
