I See You Well has been placed superbly having been here nine times and winning six though he generally needs his first run after a break. Fairway Freddy ran out on last month's reappearance on the track but had some luck when left in the lead at the last at Stratford on Saturday, when Ornua was well beaten, for which he's penalised. Pasvolsky has been here once, beating a sole rival over the trip last December. AL ROC has managed to win a dozen races including ten over fences. He'll be having his 22nd start of the year but gets the nod while the ground remains on the quick side. Five-times winning hurdler Coal Stock is useful at this level but was engaged in the 2.15 at Kempton yesterday.
