Made a winning debut at Wolverhampton last summer and excellent seventh in Gimcrack Stakes after but well held on return/handicap bow at Goodwood last month. Needs to bounce back.

Off the mark in 7f nursery at Kempton last September and signed off with very good second at Newmarket. Returns from 8 months off now but no surprise if he makes his presence felt.

Progressive sort who showed a good turn of foot to get the better of Highland Avenue in 7f Kempton novice in December. Plenty more to come this year, so very much one to consider on his return.

Forecasts

Zoffarelli (3/1), Silent Film (7/2), Run To Freedom (4/1), Bonnyrigg (11/2), Tornadic (11/2), Talbot (9/1), Roman Dynasty (25/1)

RUN TO FREEDOM claimed the scalp of the smart Highland Avenue when last seen out at Kempton before Christmas and is fancied to make a winning return on his handicap bow off a lenient opening mark. Zoffarelli also makes his seasonal reappearance but has more to offer too so is feared most. Tornadic appeals as the pick of the remainder now the official assessor has eased him in the weights.
