LIBERTY SHIP was a welcome winner for Lincolnshire-based Mark Buckley and escapes a penalty for a comfortable come-from-behind success in an apprentice contest at Doncaster recently. The talented Edmond Linehan retains the ride and the combination can supplement those Yorkshire gains, although he does need things to drop his way through a race. Bouncy Bouncy is an obvious threat and is probably much better than a recent effort at Warwick suggests as the race just didn't pan out for the Bell inmate. Better judged on a fluent success at Newbury previously, the ground will suit and she'll go well. Pocket's Pick and Jemimaville look each-way possibilities but career records of 1-31 and 0-20 respectively are off-putting.
