      Verdict

      At Liberty has gone close on several occasions so far this year including at Redcar last time but remains without a win after 15 attempts. Mujid’s earlier success at Ffos Las came over a longer trip while Eton Blue won off today’s mark at Windsor back in April. JUNKANOO missed the whole of last year but ran his best race since returning to action when fitted with blinkers and finishing fourth in a higher grade contest at Goodwood last time. The headgear remains in place and Gary Moore’s charge looks the one to side with.
