    Verdict

    FREE WHEELING has yet to record a victory in this country and was well beaten on his reappearance after a break at Windsor. But he's won in Australia and Dubai, including a Group 2, and should have too much for today's rivals at the weights. Mushir won a Listed contest at York last year but has been slightly disappointing this term and isn't suited by race conditions. Fellow three-year-old Invincible Strike may also struggle but Big Johnny D bounced back to form in a claimer at Chester, though would have preferred an easier surface.
