Freedom Chimes hasn't managed to win in 13 starts on the Flat but is building towards a first success over hurdles judging by a close third on heavy going at Tramore where he only faded close home. However, SOMETIMES A FOX was beaten a short-head in that race and would have won in another stride so Gordon Elliott's charge looks the one to be on. The remainder have little to recommend them though Varkhann should improve on his debut at Ballinrobe and Dancing On My Own has a smart pedigree for jumping.
