Race preview
HOME FREE did not appear to stay when stepped up to 2m4f over timber on his handicap debut at Wincanton, but his previous 14-length success at Lingfield means that he is worthy of another chance back down in trip on his chasing bow. Five Dollar Fine was an impressive winner over C&D recently and has to be of interest, despite a 9lb rise in the ratings. Others to note are Take Centre Stage and Backbyjet.
