Verdict
Yisty beat Freeze A Crowd a length-and-a-quarter at Chelmsford last month but the latter is now 4lb better off so there shouldn't be much between them today. Memyselfie was last of five that day but has since finished second here to Bring On A Spinner while Englishwoman only found one too good over 6f here 12 days ago. AMY BLAIR makes his all-weather debut after a break and drops back to the minimum for the first time. But he has plenty of speed in his pedigree and probably has more scope than today's rivals so gets a tentative vote for a stable that has a good strike rate on Fibresand.
