Freud was engaged in the 5.30 at Nottingham yesterday so that result should be monitored as he produced his best run for a while at Beverley last time. ZAMBEASY has won over the course and distance but had been tackling longer trips until leading for a long way when last seen here in May. Now on a fair mark, he looks the one to beat. Lunar Deity has a superb strike-rate of 12-76 but has never raced over a trip this far and this is a very stiff track. Lyrica's Lion has raced twice over this trip and won both times. He's also won over 1m3f at Kempton and though all of his victories have been in Class 6 company this isn't much better. Light Of Air has been steadily dropping to a winnable mark though he's been well beaten on all visits to this track.
