Probably not as competitive as the first division, but trappy nonetheless. Speedfit Free looks to have plenty on his plate, giving weight away all round, but he is more straightforward than most of these and should not be discounted. Above Board is an infrequent winner and is usually one to oppose, but he is capable of a bold effort if the mood takes him. Festive Affair is effective over course and distance and will not be far away, but the selection is Polar Haze, who narrowly failed to justify heavy support here last time. That was over the minimum trip, but this six-furlongs suits him better and he is taken to recoup losses here.
