Winner of 7f novice at Chelmsford in November. Unable to make an impact in 2 handicaps since but it's still early days and this represents a drop in grade. Marquand up.

Freetodream⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 59| D

11/4

Won at Brighton in May. 9/2, very good third of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 47 days ago. Big player under Hollie Doyle.

Form: 88/6143-

Forecasts

How Impressive (2/1), Freetodream (11/4), Beltane (5/1), Rogue Thunder (6/1), Swiss Pride (12/1), Local Bay (12/1), A Pint Of Bear (22/1), Impeach (22/1), Bowman (28/1), Whistledown (150/1)

FREETODREAM shaped quite well back on AW at Kempton just before Christmas and can build on that promise and strike under Hollie Doyle. How Impressive has been runner-up on both previous attempts over C&D, including under today's pilot Oisin Murphy, and is second choice ahead of Rogue Thunder, who is less exposed than most of these and takes a slight drop in grade here.
