Yet to place in 25 starts on the AW and he looks more effective over shorter than this trip.

Didn't need to improve to land the odds last time in a maiden and handicapper looks to have got her mark about right on all known form. Place claims.

Shown nothing for this yard in two starts over hurdles but more at home back in this sphere and unexposed on the AW. May suit judged on his pedigree.

Hard to say he looks well-handicapped but return to further will no doubt help and the jockey booking is a positive. Still early days and not beyond posibilities there's more to come so has to be of interest in a weak event.

In no form over hurdles of late but on a fair mark judged on his form from when he was last seen on the Flat in 2014. Will be fit from hurdles exploits at least so one of the more interesting ones.

Good second here three starts back but very little shown on two recent starts and tailed off on both outings. Hard to fancy on the back of that.

Forecasts

Free Bounty (15/8), Ayr Of Elegance (5/2), Marshall Aid (3/1), Icebuster (7/2), Victoria Pollard (4/1), Wynford (13/2), Treble Strike (9/1), Winter Spice (16/1), Rocky Elsom (25/1)

Verdict

The booking of Silvestre De Sousa looks like a shrewd move by the connections of FREE BOUNTY and it's possible he may eek out a little more improvement from the colt while Rocky Elsom is on a fair mark if he returns in a better mood than his latest hurdles outings. Marshall Aid has been knocking on the door of late and should be thereabouts despite still holding his maiden tag.
