Verdict

Try Freedom has won once in 33 career starts and that was on the all-weather at Dundalk when he had Playdate, another infrequent winner, behind. Tinas Exhibition has been well beaten over hurdles since scoring over this trip at Tipperary where she had Quarton behind but she appears to need plenty of give in the ground to show her best. SOVENTO has plenty of weight and has run poorly on his two starts this year but he ended the last campaign scoring at Kempton and performed with credit on several occasions from this mark on turf earlier. He gets the nod in a poor contest.
