FREE RUNNING (NAP) looks well handicapped. Placed four times on Polytrack in the UK, she gained a very easy victory over this trip on the sand at Laytown and surprisingly has been left on the same mark. Victorious Secret looks a big threat as she had been in excellent form before a moderate run here a month ago after which she was found to be coughing. Indrahar finished runner-up in that latter race and was conceding the winner 7lb so she has to be considered as she's already won on the track. Suvenna won a maiden over the track and trip then a Listowel handicap and was by no means disgraced in a very tough handicap at the Curragh.
