    Verdict

    ITS'AFREEBEE has taken time to find his feet on the Flat since leaving the Skelton yard but Richard Spencer looks to have found the key to him and can land a first success for the yard on the back of two solid runner-up efforts. He has no stamina issues and is preferred to Hope Is High, a standing dish at this track. The Berry mare scored three times here last season and goes especially well for the champion jockey but has been struggling to repeat last year's heroics after been heavily punished by the handicapper. Likely pacemaker, Azam, is respected as is the consistent maiden Galileo's Spear in what should prove a tightly-knit tactical affair.
