Bubbly Ballerina won a lesser-grade handicap over C&D a fortnight ago but she has a high draw to overcome today and runner-up FREE ZONE is fancied to reverse running. The latter doesn't have much to find and has form on good to soft ground. It was fast going when Fulbright won a Listed race at Epsom in June but he still has claims dropping in class, while Kimbali finished second over 7f here last time but was beaten over three lengths and will need to step up on that form. Sunrise Dance makes more appeal having gone close at York on her latest outing, but Sea Odyssey could prove a bigger threat returning to a more suitable trip.
