In depth
Verdict
Free World has been taking on better opposition but has been well beaten and doesn't appear the force of old. Midnight Charmer has already enjoyed a successful season but is still climbing the weights and all of his victories have come at a lower level. Topaze Collonges has been well below his best while Arrayan is probably best watched on his first try over fences for 18 months. TODAREISTODO was staying on over a slightly shorter trip at Chepstow last month and was only beaten three lengths. He may be the one to beat if reproducing that effort as Shalamiyr's bubble was burst last time.
