Verdict

We end with the toughest race of the day and with none of the runners in form under rules the vote lands on FREE SPEECH after some bold efforts between the flags while Makena has claims on her own pointing form and Apache Brave may feature after a better run last time out. Well held in most of his runs in Ireland under rules the pick has been putting in some taking efforts in the point to point scene. Any market support would be interesting on his UK jumping bow and he should be in good heart. Makena notched up a few wins between the flags but was well held on her return to the National Hunt sphere last time. She remains unexposed and in a race that won't take much winning she looks weighted for a big challenge. Apache Brave has been well held the last twice but at least improved his placing last time so with weight removed should go better and Sarobar's third at Worcester two starts back gives that one a chance. Smiling Applause put in an improved effort last time out so if building on that might go better while Rahy's Crown is unexposed in this sphere and might improve. This is a race that won't take much winning so Free Speech's point form might be good enough.
