In depth

Verdict

A pretty weak handicap and it may pay to go with Fonic Rock, Mister Fizzbomb and William John may provide most danger. Michael Bell's filly was beaten a length by today's rival Mister Fizzbomb when they met at Beverley recently. The selection was having just her second run of the season so is open to further improvement and with a three pound turnaround in the weights she should reverse the form of that rival. William John looks to be reaching his peak after four outings this campaign. He wasn't beaten far behind Touch Of Ivory at Redcar last time and another bold showing is expected. Freeze The Frame looks the pick of the higher priced runners but the form horse should be Fonic Rock and one gets our vote.
