Verdict

Aleator is one of several with claims having scored over track and trip last time and raised only 2lb. Ansaab was runner-up at Chelmsford recently and has a shout but occupied the same position behind FRANKLIN D over course and distance in November. The latter remains relatively unexposed and Michael Bell's colt should be in the mix once again. Whispering Warrior was expected to finish closer at Chelmsford while stablemate Starboard failed to show any improvement under today's apprentice at Wolverhampton earlier in the week. Winterlude was in front of Masterpaver when second over 1m4f last week while Freud is upped a couple of grades on the back of a recent double at Chelmsford.
