FREE STONE HILL appears to be on the upgrade and arrives here seeking a hat-trick. He's been raised in the weights once more but could be well up to defying the rise and is taken to score. Classic Tune was a shock winner last time out at Uttoxeter on just his fourth start, he could also have more to offer. Lithic and Zalvados must answer stamina queries but have the credentials to go well while likeable Clondaw Kaempfer was right in the mix here last month in better company until making a meal of the final flight. Nathans Pride won this last year but might struggle now, with Jacks Last Hope a better option.
