Verdict
Global Freedom is only rated 53 on the Flat after four runs for Ed Dunlop but showed definite signs of progress at Yarmouth in May. Hereia hasn't fulfilled his two-year-old promise in two starts this summer but PEPPERONI PETE, who is rated 75 on the level, won a Cork handicap over a mile in May and had his first run for Jessica Harrington at Galway last week so should be ready for this. Vhagar won a 7f Dundalk maiden in November but has been well beaten in two starts on Turf this summer but Harvest Bow landed a 7f nursery in very testing ground so further rain would aid her cause.
