Verdict

FREDDIES RETURN will take the beating with a clear round. He scored in a similar race at Huntingdon last month with Gentle George way behind in fourth and can go in again. Horsham Lad has won a couple of these events and has been in good form in point-to-points of late, winning two of his last three starts, while West Cork Flash has previous form in Ireland that gives him a chance and he, too, has been winning between the flags recently. The remaining pair are harder to fancy and may struggle again.
