Swivel was an odds-on chance at Ludlow in January but was beaten a long way from home. On the evidence of an earlier third at Kempton, he's certainly capable of better but a recent absence is a worry. HEPIJEU tried chasing last time but again came up short. However, earlier placed efforts at Worcester are the best pieces of form on offer in this and Charlie Longsdon's gelding has already shown he handles a soft surface. Easier ground should help Fauve, who looks the pick of the remainder ahead of Uttoxeter third Little Windmill and Presenting Streak.
