Verdict

MR FREEDOM has been lightly raced in recent seasons but shaped well on his return when third at Salisbury and this course scorer edges the vote from Aggagio, who bids to capture this prize for a second time and garner a sixth success here. In-form duo Expressionless and Cruden can also play a part in this open handicap.
