In depth

Verdict

The market, if there is one formed, will be the best guide for those willing to hang around and watch this charity race. LIBERTY'S GIFT has won on the Flat and over hurdles and was third over fences last month. Paul Flynn's six-year-old may be the one to beat ahead of Shaiyzar, who was a consistent sort on Polytrack over the winter.
