Assizes is dropped in class after a string of poor efforts. He's also got something to prove over today's longer distance and BOLD AND FREE is just preferred. The three-year-old was placed in a Sandown claimer over 1m2f recently and is worth another try at today's trip. The remainder all look up against it on these terms with course and distance winner Grammar perhaps proving best of them.
