WENYERREADYFREDDIE is a confident selection to follow up his back-to-back Ascot wins with the latest working out really well. Polydora impressed latest and rates the main danger with his jumping a clear plus. De Rasher Counter was promising first time over fences and while things haven't quite gone to plan since he still makes appeal off this mark.
