Verdict

FREE WORLD was rated 152 when a close third to Kalahari King at Doncaster last February under the care of Paul Nicholls. He got only as far as the first on his opening run for Arthur Moore at Tipperary last month but his new handler will want to get him back to winning ways. Schelm had been in fine form at around this trip before a poor run in the Galway Plate but should bounce back here while Salesin, another who performed badly at The Festival, is capable of much better. The novice Gracchus is running very well and like the versatile Jigalo is not out of a race where the principals have questions to answer.
