Verdict
Phreeze can land this with ease at the expense of Latanazul and Gull Wing. The selection showed much improved form to win a handicap at Newmarket last time out. He has risen in the weights as a consiquence but if reproducing that effort then he should have no worries entering the winners enclosure once more. Latanzul did show a little form as a two year old and won a Newmarket fillies maiden before looking exposed in a handicap at Salisbury last time out. The hanicapper might have over reacted with her win therefore currently looks badly handicapped so is to be treated with caution. As is Gull Wing who won as a two year but has failed to win this year after some consitent efforts. She will win soon but she may find an easier race than this in the future. So for the winner we return to Phreeze to double up on his Newmarket win.
