Verdict
Free Zone has gone backwards since running Kool Henry close at Newcastle though both subsequent runs have been in better company on quicker ground. Rusty Rocket ran well for a 100/1 chance at Nottingham and can improve again while Towbee still looked green despite running Dutch Heritage close at Thirsk. SUPERPLEX has definitely disappointed on his last two starts and isn't progressing but earlier efforts behind useful opposition give him the call here and he won't get many better chances.
