A couple of these stand out from the rest. Act Of Freedom posted a much better effort on his latest start at Doncaster and should be thereabouts but CURVE BALL makes more appeal having finished a couple of lengths clear of the rest when runner-up at Newmarket last time – he is expected to improve further today. Himself failed to show much progress at Salisbury on his latest start but Red Alert is related to a couple of winners and preferred to Lovely Acclamation of the newcomers.
