A few with chances but MR FREEDOM did well to overcome a troubled passage when registering his fifth victory of the season at Warwick last time so looks the way to go despite taking a 3 lb rise in the weights. Lihyan still has few miles on the clock and could emerge as the chief threat ahead of in-form pair Whizz Kid and Glory And Honour.
