Casbah Rock had Midnight Manhattan behind when winning over 1m3f here recently and should go well again despite being raised 4lb. Horsewithnoname was beaten less than a length here last month and has claims, though the fact he has yet to win is off-putting, while last month's Wolverhampton winner Golan Heights could also figure. However, TRY FREEDOM returns to a more suitable trip after a recent reappearance over 2m and he's taken to confirm earlier running with Sparring Partner as this looks easier than the race he won here in December.
