Race preview
LEADING SWOOP has been in more consistent form this season having reached the frame on all four starts at this track. Robert Walford's nine-year-old is worth another try up in distance and his pedigree does suggest that it ought to suit. Getupearly may return to form after a wind operation, while Elpologreg and Hobb's Delight appear best of the remainder.
