A number of in-and-out performers on display and we take Stoneacre Fred to beat Astorygoeswithit and Franky'N'Jonny. The selection hails from a yard that have bounced back to form in fantastic style and having been tried over nine furlongs, there is every reason to believe that this half-way house of seven could suit. Astorygoeswithit has been desperately out of form of late but could be worth a look if money is seen in the market. Franky'N' Jonny is exposed as moderate but her most recent run was too bad to be true. John Balding has sent out a few winners so Bold Love is considered in the equation while Ames Souer was well punted over five furlongs but failed to land a blow. Great Composer has ability but can pull hard in the early of stages. If settled, his chances are obvious. Stoneacre Fred does have a question mark about the trip but his trainer is in form and it could be enough at this lowly level.
