Verdict
Stylish Moment and Special Acceptance finished 1-2 in one of these at Haydock in April. Innisfree Lad is still more than capable of figuring if in the mood while Call Of The Loon is sure to be popular, though both chase victories so far have come at Stratford. FAIRWAY FREDDY is 6lb lower than his last winning mark and his yard’s runners here are always to be feared if the market speaks in their favour. He would have a better chance here than the 2.25 at Kempton where he was engaged yesterday.
