Verdict

MR FREEDOM has barely put a foot wrong since landing a hat-trick on the Flat in the summer, and given his proven suitability for testing ground, gets the verdict over Mr Mackay, who arrives after a largely positive campaign in his first season over hurdles. Saligo Bay attracted strong support on the back of winning in selling company last year and isn't ruled out of making amends for his early fall on that occasion.
