Verdict

FREEDOM FLYER had been racing over 6f before dropping back to this trip at Southwell where he would have gone very close but for being impeded. Compensation awaits. Latin Five, four-times a winner on Turf, has yet to reach a place on the all-weather so should do better back here while Primo is just 2lb higher than his last victory. The veteran Rockley Point scored at Newcastle last month, his second victory this year and ninth in all, while Zoom Star has won three times over the trip and is just 1lb higher than when scoring on soft ground at Catterick in October and Mark Winn's claim puts him in the frame for this.
