Forecasts

Verdict

If able to build on his recent breakthrough success over 7f here, WHERE'S FREDDY may well follow up off just 3 lb higher with this step up to a mile likely to work in his favour. There are several plausible altenatives in a competitive handicap for the grade, with Southwold and Lordsbridge Girl, who is 2-3 when ridden by Jamie Spencer, both greatly respected. The consistent Coloane and down-in-the-weights Oh Herberts Reign are others to consider.

  1. WHERE'S FREDDY (IRE)
  2. SOUTHWOLD (IRE)
  3. LORDSBRIDGE GIRL
