Verdict
The progressive MR FREEDOM has been winning over hurdles and on the Flat and completed a double over today’s trip when scoring here last time. He may not have finished improving yet. My Chiquita is another in fine form though her recent double came in Class 6 company and In The Breeze is preferred after winning at Haydock in May. Dark Island went close over a shorter trip at Newbury but Rogue Rocket finished second of only three runners over 1m2f at Sandown a fortnight ago.
