Verdict

This seller looks at the mercy of FREMEN who should bolt in on these terms leaving Jamieson Gold and Welcome Approach scrapping for minor honours. It would appear the selection has scared off potential rivals has David Nicholls' charge faces just four cahllengers. The trepidation on the part of those who could have opposed are well founded with the nine-year-old rated a full 20lbs above his nearest opponent but only has to concede four to the quartet that face him. On these terms he looks thrown in. If Jamieson Gold can reproduce the form that saw him finish a runner-up in handicap company off a mark of 73 at this time last year he could feasibly mount some sort of challenge while Welcome Approach at least like this track but is looking for improvement of Seabiscuit proportions to feature. No fancy prices about the winner here but Freman looks unbeatable.
