Verdict

Dual course winner RIVER RUN FREE appeared to find a stamina-sapping 3m stretching him at Ffos Las on his latest outing and, in the hope this doesn't come too quick, he's fancied to make a bold bid back at this more suitable trip with first-time blinkers enlisted. Eric Carmen has turned over a new leaf this campaign, winning 3 of his last 4 starts over hurdles/fences and he's a big threat. Class-dropping Begin The Luck also commands respect.
