SWISS CONNECTION stands out in the opener having gone close at Newcastle last time. He looks capable of winning off his current mark on that showing and has little to fear from today’s opposition on recent form. Red Walls won here in November but hasn’t figured since while Kath's Toyboy has only won a maiden on the Turf so far. Aleef slides further down the weights while Raabeh represents last year’s winning yard.
