It would be no surprise if Free One finished closer today after disappointing when favourite at Kempton. PLAISIR also let supporters down when failing to land the odds at the same track last time but the Botti filly is taken to make amends in this and get the better of Lucky Leyf, a runner-up over 6f on her latest outing. Limerick Lord is worth noting and fellow newcomer Benjamin Disraeli is related to a couple of winners.
