Not a race to dwell on for too long and MEDAL OF FREEDOM looks worth chancing. He was going well over C&D when falling two starts ago and with confidence restored over shorter last time he could come good. Johnny Go could make a good fist of it on his chase debut, while Hattons Hill is feared despite his hike in the weights, purely because he thrives here. Inchcolm is another who should be in the shake-up for prize money.
