Verdict

Espresso Freddo continues in excellent form but is creeping up the weights despite having been beaten twice since scoring off a 10lb lower mark at Bath. MADELEINE BOND finally gained reward for her consistency when getting her head back in front at Windsor. She has been raised 4lb for that but a follow-up is not out of the question for Henry Candy’s mare. Woodside Wonder proved he stayed a mile at Hamilton in September and shouldn’t be far away while Hammer Gun is back in form and stands his racing well. Critical Time was second to a useful filly at Thirsk before winning over 7f at Newcastle so can’t be ignored.
