Verdict
Free Love beat Khafooq two lengths over track and trip earlier this month but the runner-up is 7lb better off now. Key To Power is a consistent filly who hasn’t beaten far at Ripon on Saturday but CONVERTER, despite having a first run over 5f, can get back to winning ways after going close at Kempton on his return to action - he won over 6f on his debut here last year. Tenax was a little unlucky on his first run for Nigel Tinkler at Thirsk so can’t be ignored
