Verdict
Most of these are course winners with Freescape and HODDS GIRL having won six times on the track. The former was a close third to Punk Poet last time when Migdam, who started a short-priced favourite after his win here the previous month, and Mulgrave and Ransom were behind but runner-up Brains was well beaten when odds-on for a claimer next time. Adam Caffrey‘s mount is better known as a sprinter and has never won over this trip but her close third in a Listed contest on her penultimate start points to her chances. Big Gossey is another better known for his exploits over shorter and especially at the Curragh. This will be his 54th start and only his second over this trip.
