Bollin Freddie boasts the best recent form here, and is given the vote, with Fitzolini and Dechiper taken to hit the frame. The last named struck winning form at this time last year and although recent efforts have not suggested a return to the winners' nclosure, this is a weak race and he is crashing down the handicap. Fitzolini has been running with credit on the all-weather recently, placed last time, and he may well offer the main threat. He lacks decent recent Turf form however. That is not the case with BOLLIN FREDDIE however, who shoulders a 6lb penalty for a recent Beverley victory over this trip. He had run respectably previously however and is another runner who comes to hand in the summer months. Bollin Freddie can follow up.
