A very modest maiden that is within the compass of ON TERMS though Freedom Fire and Mymateeric will give him something to think about. Simon Dow's charge shaped with plenty of promise last time out though probably did not help himself through lack of experience. With two runs under his belt at this circuit, there should be no such excuses this afternoon. Freedom Fire is well there on official figures. Gambled on last week, it will be interesting to see if those backers are getting themselves involved again.Mymateeric has improved over hurdles during the last few months. He has been tried over two miles on the level - staying on well without threatening to win. Dovedon Earl is eligible for handicaps so it is surprising that he shows up here. Law Of The Jungle shapes as if this 1m4f is within his reach though he does not do things particularly quickly. On Terms has the most progressive profile of these and we award him our recommendation.
