Verdict

The veteran SWISS CROSS was winning off a higher mark in October and it could be his turn again after last week’s placed effort at Lingfield. He’d earlier finished second at the same track when ahead of Black Truffle and Baby Gal with Rising Sunshine and Twistsandturns well beaten while Baby Gal has subsequently finished second back at Lingfield. Madame Jo Jo can figure if in the mood but Legal Mind’s earlier second at Chelmsford came in lowly Class 7 company.
