Forecasts

Mr Freedom (7/2), Whispering Royal (9/2), Hurtle Wallop (11/2), Robusto (6/1), Naasma (7/1), Clan Chieftain (8/1), Crescent Lake (9/1), C'mon Kenny (10/1), Enochdhu (14/1), Damascus Steel (14/1), Teqany (14/1), Jaramillo (22/1), Enthrallment (40/1), Militry Decoration (40/1)

Verdict

MR FREEDOM has been a splendid servant to connections and, fit from a recent spin over hurdles, he seems very likely to give another good account of himself in a staying handicap on the level. Robusto has a lower turf mark to exploit and is recent AW win confirms he's back in good order, with the likeable Naasma completing the shortlist.

  1. MR FREEDOM
  2. ROBUSTO (IRE)
  3. NAASMA (IRE)
