      Verdict

      Illegally Blonde drops into plating company after a couple of poor efforts and has every chance at the weights. But FREE ZONE doesn’t have much to find with the former on these terms and arrives in decent form having won a claimer at Chelmsford in November where he beat Doctor Parkes. Yeeoow cut little ice dropped into this grade last time and Monumental Man has done all his winning to date over the minimum trip while Flexible Flyer has not raced since June.
