Forecasts

Southwold (5/2), Bird Of Play (9/2), Oh Herberts Reign (11/2), Where's Freddy (11/2), Lordsbridge Girl (6/1), Le Reveur (8/1), Pistoletto (10/1), Coloane (11/1), Mr Cuddihy (14/1), Split Elevens (22/1), Girl Inthe Picture (22/1), Mercurius Power (25/1), Fully Deployed (28/1), Aeroplane Mode (28/1)

If able to build on his recent breakthrough success over 7f here, WHERE'S FREDDY may well follow up off just 3 lb higher with this step up to a mile likely to work in his favour. There are several plausible altenatives in a competitive handicap for the grade, with Southwold and Lordsbridge Girl, who is 2-3 when ridden by Jamie Spencer, both greatly respected. The consistent Coloane and down-in-the-weights Oh Herberts Reign are others to consider.
