Newmarket Race 3 - Betfred Handicap (Heritage Handicap) (Gbbplus Race)

LIAM SWAGGER (7) delivered a 5L Southwell triumph three runs ago. Continued to hold his form placing in a G3 hurdle at Cheltenham and Chelmsford handicap. Consider. KIHAVAH (1) did just enough to gain his sixth flat success tackling the trip at Musselburgh making it two from three under Patrick McDonald. Well-in on figures and holds every chance of replicating if building on that effort. WILD WAVES (4) disappointed when twelfth making Musselburgh reappearance. Might prove a different proposition second-up. ALIGN THE STARS (3) is two from four attempting the journey and warrants thought.
