In depth

Verdict

Imagine Freedom was still well beaten when runner-up at Yarmouth with a below par El Picaro finishing even further behind. The latter has a shout on earlier placed efforts while Bobby On The Beat returns to maiden company in a first-time visor having failed to threaten in a handicap at Leicester and a chance is taken on GIVEIT SOME ORANGE. The latter finished clear of the rest when runner-up at Brighton on his debut and can go close with normal progress. Mick's Spirit is upped in distance with headgear applied and may finish closer
