READY FREDDIE GO (NAP) has a fine strike-rate and landed a Thirsk handicap at this level in April and is just 2lb higher. Boogie Time completed a hat-trick over 6f last summer but doesn't appear to have the pace over this trip on fast ground. The Thin Blue Line wins his share but he's another better over another furlong on quick going though he had the beating of Primo's Comet in two recent runs. Huraiz hasn't run since January and has changed stables while Streamline, who was once rated 100 after landing a Group 3 as a juvenile, has been absent since well beaten in the Ayr Silver Cup in September.
