Verdict
The Pink'n has dropped considerably in the ratings over his last few starts and shaped far better off his new mark last time and this course winner is respected. Swinging London has been competitive on all three runs this year and Olly Murphy reaches for first-time cheekpieces and tongue tie in an attempt to eke out further improvement. Tom Buckley and Inferno Sacree have landed four of their last five - all by impressive winning distances - and the gelding is now a remarkable 39lb higher than at the start of his successful spree. He may well continue in a winning vein but is up in trip here and faces a tough rival in the much-improved MONJULES who also ran well earlier this month when a good second on the Flat for Harry Fry.
