One or two that interest here and have pretensions of being better than this grade. Clondaw Pretender would certainly fall into that category having run well on his handicap debut at Sedgefield running into another likely type. His yard are a little quiet though and preference is for WHEESHT who makes a quick switch to handicaps having finished second last time in a race that wasn’t run to suit with her hurdles debut form looking very strong. Royal Crown should also be given a positive mention especially as he chased home a 130-rated rival last time and a repeat of that performance makes him look well handicapped. Any positive market forces for Free Ski should definitely be noted.
