Verdict

This surface probably blunts Fast Freddie's natural pace and whilst he looks well-handicapped he is taken on with EFISTORM who is back in a 0-70 for the first time in ages. The selection has been given a two-and-a-half month break since his last start where he was fairly well-held in claiming company at the track. He has ten wins to his name, including off marks as high as 83 before. The stable are not in bad form and the booking of Chris Catlin catches the eye. Desperate Dan is another experienced gelding who knows how to win; Andy Haynes' inmate needs to improve on recent runs however and the handicapper is slow to give him much respite. Spic 'n Span won for Joe Fanning three starts back, whilst stablemate Back In The Red has been holding his form very well of late and his recent defeat behind Grimes Faith looks solid form. Figaro Flyer needs watching in the betting, whilst a drop in trip for This Ones For Eddy may not necessarily be the answer. A tricky race where very few can be ruled out, however narrow preference is for Efistorm.
