Tax Free In With A Shout

Adrian Nicholls is bullish about Tax Free's chance of recording his first victory of the year in the Scarbrough Stakes at Doncaster.

The eight-year-old has been a great servant to his connections, winning 14 of his 39 career starts, and ran a fine race to chase home Astrophysical Jet in a Group Three at the Curragh last month.

"He ran well to finish second to a really progressive three-year-old. He's back in Listed company and he should be there with every chance. I think he'll win if he runs as well as he did last time," said the jockey.

"He's had a lighter campaign than usual and he's in great form. He's very consistent and the soft ground wouldn't bother me too much as he's won on it before and he goes on anything really. All he does is want to win, so I'm looking forward to it."
