FREE TO ROAM (NAP) was having just her fifth start when scoring with a bit in hand at Wolverhampton earlier this month and, with more progress to come and just a 5lb rise to contend with, can complete a quick double. Fitzwilliam has yet to win and his recent form on Polytrack and over hurdles gives him plenty to find while Nidnod's only victory to date was on very fast going. Coup De Vent won a moderate handicap at Lingfield in December but this isn't much better while Angels Above has shown a glimmer of ability and this won't take much winning.
