Speed Freak disappointed when sent off as favourite in a novice event last month and could be vulnerable carrying top weight here. At The Beach showed some pace in a modest novice event at Chelmsford and could go well if settling but BAZWIND could be the one to beat. He put in a solid run in a big field Chepstow maiden on Thursday and it’s a positive sign that he’s out again so quickly.
