Nothing arrives here in as good a form as FREETHINKER for Charlie Longsdon. He remains unexposed over 3 miles and has really impressed the last twice. He kept finding to win convincingly at Newcastle last month under Lilly Pinchin and then backed that up under the same rider last time despite making a mistake at the last. A further 6lb rise demands more again but he has done it the last twice with something to spare and I still think he is worth keeping on side. Lilly Pinchin maintains the partnership and gets to claim a handy 5lb this time which will definitely help. The Questioner appreciated the step up in trip to finish first past the post at Southwell before being demoted. He is clearly a danger if running to that level of form again but I wouldn’t have as much as there is between them in the betting. Celtic Tara also has to be respected as she ran well again when second last time.
