Formscan  - After a couple of below-par efforts on the turf, it was much more like it from SWITCHEL over 1m4f at Southwell three weeks ago. The daughter of Golden Horn only weakened into third late on that day, suggesting a drop in trip could suit. Champion jockey-elect Oisin Murphy gets aboard for the first time, and any improvement could see the filly make it 11th time lucky. All four of Jenson Benson's career victories have come around here and he's appealing from a workable mark, while Angel Mac might step forward now pitched into handicaps for the first time.
