      Verdict

      Freiheit has had all of her races to date over 7f so takes a big drop in trip. She's shown good pace in most of those events but may not have the speed of AJMERA. Johnny Murtagh's filly was only headed on the line when tackling 6f at the Curragh last time after finishing third over this trip there on her previous start. Early Call has had 17 starts, all over this trip, and he's a genuine speedster. He's been unlucky not to lose his maiden tag as he's been narrowly beaten on several occasions and looks certain to give a good account. The speedily-bred Teddy Boy hasn't been beaten far in his two starts though needs to find a bit more.
