Forecasts

Mr Freedom (5/4), Lexington Knight (9/2), Silastar (6/1), Croeso Cymraeg (13/2), Wilderness (17/2), Eagle Court (10/1), C'mon Kenny (10/1), Liseo (10/1), Party Island (14/1)

Verdict

MR FREEDOM has been a fantastic advert for the skills of Sheena West and this likeable 4-y-o is taken to extend his winning sequence. Lexington Knight is very likely to give his running, with Silastar a threat if he can keep straight this time.

  1. MR FREEDOM
  2. LEXINGTON KNIGHT (IRE)
