SWINGBRIDGE is 13lb higher than his last victory over hurdles but he's since won twice over fences and is highly unlikely to be rated below 100 again, as he is here. A four-timer beckons though I Will Follow is progressing nicely. Martin Brassil's charge won a Wexford handicap and made a bold bid to follow up on heavy ground and a longer trip at Listowel, despite a 10lb rise. Open To The World only just failed to hold on at Listowel when conceding 21lb to the winner so has to be respected along with the in-form Eiri Na Casca, a winner at Ballinrobe last month. The four-year-old Alaliya stays further than this and wasn't suited by heavy going at Listowel after her victory at Ballinrobe.
