Formscan  - LIAM SWAGGER took a big step forward when a neck second at Windsor nine days ago and the son of Iffraaj could be hard to beat if finding any further progression. Castle In The Sand is an obvious threat to the selection having filled the runner-up position on his last four starts, but he could be vulnerable once again. Gallantly is a noteworthy Irish raider, while Chortal merits a market inspection on his racecourse bow.
