Verdict

None inspire confidence but course regular FLY TRUE has won three times here. He ran below par from a wide draw last time but gets a token vote to reverse latest running with third-placed Mister Freeze. The latter has subsequently returned a disappointing favourite over a mile here while Sea Shack’s earlier placed effort on the Fibresand came in a seller. N Over J and Midnight In Havana were both beaten favourites on their latest starts and The Retriever still finished a long way behind the winner when runner-up here in November.
