Verdict
Free Entry just can't get her head in front and isn't likely to represent much in the way of value here as she's already been beaten twice at a lower level, albeit narrowly. SIGNORET didn't appear to stay 6f at Carlisle last time so dropping back to the minimum should help and Richard Fahey's filly is given another chance with George Chaloner taking off 5lb. Both of Clergyman's run so far have been over 6f while Cumbrianna tackles fast ground for the first time. Secret Glance looks the pick of the newcomers on breeding.
