TAX FREE is difficult to catch right but the eight-year-old has won with small fields obtaining and if on a going day, this proven listed class performer will be a tough nut to crack. Knot In Wood has yet to get his head infront but he has run his heart out in the top handicaps and is unfortunate in that his consistency gives the handicapper no compulsion to drop him down the weights any time soon. Fat Boy was a very smart horse for Richard Hannon as a juvenile but having disappointed with Peter Chapple-Hyam, he makes a debut for Amy Weaver. Global City is probably better on an artificial surface whilst the remainder have it to do on official figures.
