Verdict

Free Stone Hill is now 11lb higher than when scoring at Stratford back in May though has gone close subsequently. East Indies has had an outing on the Flat since placed in a juveniles’ hurdle race in April while Lord Huntingdon is upped in class off a 6lb higher mark for winning at Bangor last month. But the progressive COMANCHE CHIEFTAIN (NAP) drops back down a grade after placing at Stratford earlier this month and he’s taken to make it four wins in only eight starts over timber by landing this.
