Race preview
NIKKI SWANGO didn't have the clearest of runs when fifth on seasonal debut at Naas and Natalia Lupini's filly can strike here on her second run in handicap company. The daughter of Galileo Gold has shown her best form over 6f but has enough early speed to cope with this drop back to the minimum distance, and Wayne Lordan has a good record for the stable. Kendall Roy's bid for a four-timer failed at Cork, but he had Alpha Cephei a place behind when finishing runner-up and is likely to be on the premises again. Majestic Beauty has good form in stakes company and has to be respected on handicap debut, as does Navan maiden winner Air Force One.
