Freedom Song gets the vote here at the main expense of Hawk Flight and Ephorus. The selection has only had the two runs but she has shaped with plenty of promise on each of her two runs to date and from a decent draw she can get her head in front. The main danger here could be the newcomer Ephorus. This colt from the Sir Michael Stoute yard is nicely bred but the yard have not had many winners of late and the draw is not ideal in stall 10. Hawk Flight has fared better in that respect and he wasn't beaten far back in mid-division by Turn Left at Nottingham on his racecourse introduction. If he improves then he is entitled to enter calculations. Agente Romano is another newcomer worth a look in the market, but for the winner we will stick with Freedom Song.
