A Little Swifter has changed yard's since winning a maiden hurdle at Clonmel in October. The form hasn't worked out but she should still be thereabouts in this. TWEEDLEDRUM left her previous form behind when finishing second at Exeter on her latest outing with Dun See See a couple of lengths behind and she's taken to go one better now the penny's dropped. Miss Milborne's form appears to have flattened out with a string of seconds to her name but Honeycreeper did better on her recent reappearance and there should be more to come from her.
