NO REMATCH only landed a claimer reverting to hurdles at Leicester but the second and third have both won since so the form may be better than it looked at the time. I Hope Star has been threatening to open his account while Galahad Threepwood did well to hold off the rallying Prairie Wolf at Doncaster, though that was over a longer trip. Swinging London looks a threat to all after solid placed efforts at Sandown and Huntingdon but Interne De Sivola is running over hurdles for the first time in more than a year. Mount Tempest remains unexposed but was disappointing last time at Ffos Las.
