This may well go the way of FREEDOM BAY, who caught the eye when putting in good late work to finish fourth on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton and the return to this stiffer track should be more suitable. Me Tarzan deserves to get his head in front and won't go down without a fight, provided that he responds well to the first-time visor, while Desert Beauty is another who shaped with encouragement in her first handicap last time and she is likely to be on the premises.
