chased winner, driven and held from over 1f out, kept on
None of these inspire confidence including AT LIBERTY whose latest placed effort came over a longer trip. But he was beaten less than a length on that occasion and may prove good enough. Bazalgette and August Place also drop down in distance while Field Of Honour is the least exposed and could improve now handicapping.
