Betfred Play Fred's 5 Million Handicap

Back to winning ways when narrowly taking 8-runner handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 16 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and holds solid follow-up claims.

Course winner who arrives on back of good second of 6 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm) 33 days ago. On a workable mark but isn't the easiest to win with these days.

Successful for the third time this year when scoring in Hungary under Frankie Dettori in September. Raced freely when third over C&D (good to firm) since, leaving the impression that a stronger gallop would've been ideal. Versatile ground-wise and warrants respect.

Completed the hat-trick in facile fashion switched to turf in 4-runner event at Doncaster (16.5f, heavy) during the spring. Misfired at Haydock when last seen in May and while fast ground may have been the issue that day, she will need to improve back from a break here.

Won this event (off 5 lb lower) last year and posted solid fourth in stronger contest at Goodwood (14f, heavy) when last seen 90 days ago. Shortlist material.

Plenty of creditable efforts in handicaps this year, latest when second of 9 over C&D (good to firm) 36 days ago. Effective on slower ground and ought to give another good account.

Ended last year with victory for Archie Watson at Newcastle but made little impact in a couple of outings for new connections this year.

Has slipped to a potentially handy mark, but losing run stretches back to August 2021 and hasn't troubled the judge in either start this term.

Improved last season, completing 4-timer in the first half of the year. Took advantage of a falling mark when resuming winning ways at Windsor in June, but mixed bag since and tends to do most of his racing on good/good to firm.

Course winner who returned to form when creditable third of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 23 days ago, needing stronger gallop. 1 lb lower now and merits consideration.

Lightly-raced filly who was back from 5 months off when second of 5 in minor event at Ripon (12f, soft) 34 days ago, clear of rest. Handicapping may bring about further improvement.
