Written Broadcast has his fifteenth start of 2023 but appears to relish his busy schedule as demonstrated by a third win this year a matter of days ago, All bar one of those 15 outings have come on the all-weather and his sole Turf success was delivered back in 2021. It's a similar story with Eagle Eyed Freddie whose last 13 starts came on artificial surfaces, including a couple of victories. Both now descend into claiming company, but the percentage call is HOW BIZARRE who is at home on any surface and has been there or thereabouts the last twice, prior to which he scored quite snugly at Musselburgh. He receives a decent chunk of weight from the top two and can land a seventh success. Rum Runner only ran four days ago but he remains in a struggle for form and is best watched for now.
