Verdict
Fiftyshadesfreed won last year’s renewal and can race off a lower mark if an apprentice’s allowance is taken into account. Sennockian Star is getting closer to winning for the first time this year and Hollywood Road bids for a treble having won at Newmarket before scoring over track and trip. Compton Mill and Pure Fantasy are not out of this either on recent placed efforts but a chance is taken on FLEETING VISIT staying the longer trip having been placed over a mile here on last month’s belated seasonal debut. A dual winner in France, Takbeer is one to note on his first start of the year for new connections.
