Verdict
Keplerian returned to action with a better effort at Chepstow on his debut for a new yard but HALF THE FREEDOM is preferred. The latter found only one too good at Worcester last month and this longer trip should suit. Sindabella drops down in distance on her return while Flutiste was well beaten when second in this last season and Bellamy's Grey won over track and trip early this year though it was heavy going on that occasion.
