In depth

Verdict

Free Wheeling invariably goes well around here and showed he would be winning soon with a cracking run behind Belgian Bill last time. The winner is trained by George Baker, who has Boomshackerlacker entered here though he'll need to do much better than on his reappearance. Sirius Prospect normally performs at a high level and has a Listed victory at Kempton to prove it but the sprinter Russian Soul could have a problem with this trip on Dirt. Jamie Osborne has had great success here with limited runners and must have been delighted when ANOTHER PARTY (NAP), making his debut for the yard, chased home Safety Check three weeks ago. The winner easily landed a Group 2 last week so this looks a fine opportunity for Jamie Spencer's mount to go one better. Bello, eight times a winner in Australia, didn't take to Tapeta last year but is very well handicapped if returning to form and wouldn't have been kept in training at the age of seven unless better was expected.
