SWISS CHARM is the the stable’s first runner of the year when the outsider of five at Southwell in the opener, a 5f novice median auction, due off at 12.35pm.
The daughter of Swiss Spirit has had seven runs as a two-year-old and has not progressed. Maybe the switch to fibresand will eke out some improvement but it will need to as the favourite, Point Cross has had five seconds at the course and is rated 67, 11lbs higher than the Harper Lodge Farm runner.
Kieran O’Neill rides Swiss Spirit who is an 11/1 shot in a weak contest that may not take much winning.
