Freddy With A Y has gone close on the all-weather the last twice now and has won off higher marks on Turf before. The latter comment also applies to Eastern Dragon, who landed a double earlier this year. Uncle Dermot has won over 7f at Leicester and should have come on for a recent reappearance at Redcar while the veteran SHIFTING STAR (NAP) will also be sharper for an outing at Lingfield. The latter scored over track and trip off today's mark in October and gets the nod with Brighton runner-up Double Czech having his first start since August.
