Temperamental sort. 4/1, didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 18 days ago, just holding on. Has to be considered once again.

(3)

Freewheelin²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: D C Costello| T: T P Tate| OR: 55| CD

3/1

C&D winner. 5/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 21 days ago, better placed than most. Raised 4 lb but may be hard to stop in current form.

Form: 56013-1

Misscarlett^p⁷⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 8-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: P A Kirby| OR: 48

17/2

13/2, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (23.1f, soft) 75 days ago, better placed than most. Modest on the Flat, good on last Flat outing. Worthy of consideration.

Form: 538452-

Will He Dance¹⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 45

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, last of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good). Off 6 months. Significantly up in trip. Makes tapeta debut.

Form: 9050-

Forecasts

Freewheelin (3/1), Metal Man (4/1), Socially Shady (5/1), Wemyss Point (7/1), Hackberry (15/2), Will He Dance (8/1), Misscarlett (17/2), Diaboleo (20/1), Contrebasse (40/1)

FREEWHEELIN has been in a rich vein of form on tapeta in recent months and can gain a third success on the surface today. He's proven over C&D and is still relatively unexposed for his age. Hackberry looks to be the biggest danger, though Socially Shady isn't out of things either.
