In depth

Verdict

Though never placed on the Flat, Global Freedom made the frame on his hurdling debut at Roscommon last week when finishing ahead of several of these. He will have learned from that but Noel Meade’s filly LAURA BILLION is likely to have had plenty of schooling and should take all the beating if transferring her Flat form to the jumps arena. Anthonysoprano never raced beyond a mile on the level so will have stamina to prove.
