Swaheen will relish the conditions and his mark is looking attractive but his last two victories have come over longer trips.
Top Of The Glas runs this track particularly well and he is another on a handy weight with his stable showing signs of getting back amongst the winners after a relatively quiet spell.
RAINBOW REBEL has winning form around here and has been highly tried of late. He had no chance with an easy winner in the Zetland Gold Cup but takes a big drop in class here. A 2-3 record at this level and a preference for soft ground suggest that Mark Johnston has found the right race for him to open his account for 2017.
