Kingfast finally opened his account when scoring over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton on his reappearance. There may be more to come from him this year but Cold Harbour has failed to figure in a couple of subsequent starts since winning over 1m2f at Lingfield in January. Contingency Fee has been thereabouts at Southwell recently but is without a win in 16 starts on the all-weather so a chance is taken on ART OF SWING. The latter was winning off a 6lb higher mark last summer and a recent better effort at Wolverhampton hinted at a return to form for Lee Carter’s charge.
