Verdict
Give Us A Swig had dropped to a lowly mark when stepping back up to this trip here last month and duly obliged. A 6lb rise makes this tougher but Jewari Of Saints scored on very heavy ground at Dieppe and will need plenty of rain. DORKING ROGUE is improving fast and has been narrowly beaten twice here in the past few weeks. He makes his handicap debut and could be good enough. Midnight Jewel was well supported for a Market Rasen handicap and duly obliged after a battle. He's up 5lb but looks to be on the upgrade but Can You Believe It is up 2lb for finishing third at Newton Abbot. Irish import Samba Dancer makes his debut for an in-form yard.
