Fiftyshadesfreed has been raised 8lb for winning over a longer trip here last week and Flipping has gone up the same amount for last month's victory in this grade. Larghetto hasn't raced since February but Outlaw Torn pops up at this level occasionally. BE ROYALE won at Yarmouth in June and may not have stopped improving yet. Michael Appleby's four-year-old gets a token vote ahead of recent Lingfield third Vied.
