Vocational and Stonefield Flyer come out best at the weights and collateral form from last year suggests the latter may have the edge in this. However, both are making their seasonal debuts and FREE ZONE is just preferred. He continued last year's good progress when making a winning return at Thirsk last month and, considering the ease of his victory, there could be more to come from Bryan Smart's charge. Dam Beautiful and Luv U Forever may struggle to get involved however.
