Home Free – 12:40 Haydock

Flags: Horse In Focus, Top Rated

Home Free had some fair form over hurdles, but he’s quickly developed into a much better chaser, building on the promise of his debut in this sphere when landing the odds at Uttoxeter last month.

His jumping was a little sketchy on that occasion, but that aspect of his game was much more assured when following up at Ayr last time, and he settled the race very quickly when hitting the front four from home.

Home Free drew clear from the next and was just kept up to his work, having 11 lengths in hand at the line, and he promises to go on improving for a while yet, so he’s taken to defy a 10lb rise in the weights and complete a four-timer.

What are the Flags?
