It might be worth taking a chance on Free Style here with many of the others looking to have chances the equal of each other. The selection showed his best form at a mile in Germany, where he was successful, and certainly showed promise over a shorter trip than today's at Wolverhampton on his British debut. Don't be surprised if he goes well. Turning to the others. The best-rated of them is Charlie Egerton's Orinocovsky, who has yet to race on the all-weather and, in fairness, has yet to display any real form of Turf. Diamond Dazzler has yet to run on the Flat so is hard to assess. Ipledgeallegiance has to be considered at this lowly level and the best of his form certainly makes him competitive. Jungle Lion is trying this trip for only the second time. It might bring about some improvement, as might the application of a first-time eyeshield, but he has something to find overall. Noble Cyrano has scored at this track over a furlong further but it came from a mark of 40, so more is require today.Dancing Tilly was just edged out by Seraph over today's course and distance last time but, again, a bit more is needed to land this contest. Ming The Merciless has some very likeable breeding on the dam's side of his pedigree but has so far failed to suggest he has inherited much of it, including in first-time blinkers. All in all, then, in a tricky event we'll take a chance on Free Style.
