Verdict
Freebe Rocks won over a mile at Kempton last month and went close when dropped back to 7f at Chelmsford last time. Dolly Mixture was placed again when runner-up over a mile here and is another to consider but a tight contest can go to Marco Botti’s CLOUD EIGHT, beaten less than a length over course and distance last time despite finishing only fourth. New Orleans was still beaten seven lengths when second here but the third horse has subsequently won and he’s preferred to Duba Plains of the remainder
