A claimer which we can split in two here and say with some confidence that victory looks to be between Fremen, Tous Les Deux and Jake The Snake and FREMEN looks the pick. The Dandy Nicholls operation is flying at present and the selection has been part of that run of good form, winning over a mile at Lingfield and then just failing to follow-up in a claimer there last time. He is proven around here too and looks to have the right credentials to land another win. Tous Les Deux has a similar CV to the selection and looks his most serious opponent. Gary Moore's charge was a course and distance scorer last month and has run with credit from a mark of 80 in two subsequent runs at Wolverhampton. Back over this track and dropped to a mile he can go close. Jake The Snake has won three of his last six, all in claiming company. He is equally effective over 7f or today's mile and should not be far away, though he has a bit to find at these weights. The tongue strap might elicit some inprovement from Yes One, but the others have plenty to find and Fremen fits the bill.
