Dual juvenile hurdle winner for Nick Williams last term and has left the impression there's more to come in 4 starts over fences this season, unable to sustain effort when fifth at Hereford last time. Interesting as he now makes handicap hurdle debut.

Scored at Fakenham in February last year before good sixth in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham. Back on track this season when third in handicap at Sandown last month and bumped into an improver when runner-up at Huntingdon last time. Leading contender.

Pair of chase wins in the summer and made the most of a good opportunity in selling hurdle at Stratford (18.7f) in October (final start for Mark Walford). However, pulled up back in handicap company at Sandown on stable debut when last seen in November.

Fairly useful winner on the Flat for Mick Channon and has been going the right way over hurdles, travelling smoothly into contention when opening his account at Doncaster (19.4f) at the beginning of the month. Respected back down in trip.

Struggled in 3 starts over fences last season for Evan Williams. However, dropped in grade returned to hurdling, got back to winning ways on his second run for current connections in claimer at Leicester in February. On a workable mark if building on that effort.

Off the mark at second attempt over hurdles in a Leicester novice in December and has shaped better than the result both starts since, seeming to find the test too much at Ffos Las (2m4f) on handicap debut last time. Could do better back down in trip.

Dual bumper winner who has left his hurdling debut form behind to finish placed on his last 2 starts, albeit finding less than looked likely when third in novice at Lingfield last time, Makes handicap debut.

Some appeal on pedigree and, after only 8 days off, showed bit more than previously when fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at this C&D last month. Needs to step up again, though, as he now goes handicapping.

Forecasts

Mount Tempest (10/3), Swinging London (10/3), Galahad Threepwood (9/2), I Hope Star (5/1), No Rematch (5/1), Interne De Sivola (15/2), Black Tonic (22/1), Floating Rock (150/1)

Verdict

SWINGING LONDON has returned to form on his last 2 starts, giving his all in defeat behind an improver at Huntingdon last time, so he could be ready to return to winning ways. The 5-y-o can get the better of Galahad Threepwood, who opened his account over hurdles earlier this month, while Mount Tempest remains with potential and completes the shortlist.
