The Jessica Harrington-trained WALK TO FREEDOM can improve on his third of 10 beaten 5½L on his first run over the larger obstacles in three years at Fairyhouse last month to add to the trainer/jockey winners this week. The nine-year-old can see off the attentions of the returning Acting Lass and the Gordon Elliott-trained Swingbridge who ran well on return to action at Perth recently.
