WALK TO FREEDOM was heavily supported when making most to beat Lisa's Legacy by more than six lengths at Cork where he relished the testing conditions. The runner-up will be 16lb better off with Ger Fox's claim taken into consideration but Jessica Harrington's charge was impressive and can complete the double. Missypet's two recent victories have come over 2m4f and she's been raised 6lb but with a fast pace likely her stamina can come into play and she should get into the frame. Just Get Cracking looked a progressive type when beating Rebel Cry and today's rival Black Ice at Tramore but Shabra's Bertolini has yet to prove he stays this far in testing going.
