Despite a question mark over the suitability of the drying ground, FREEDOM FLYER looks the safest option. He's never been the easiest to predict but hasn't done much wrong in 4 starts this year. Dick Datchery is rather hit-and-miss, too, but this multiple C&D winner would be a threat if bouncing back on debut for new yard following a wind op. Cheese The One is third choice.
