Verdict

A trappy heat this. Street Boss is a model of consistency and just about deserves to be favourite while Midnight Lute would come right into it if back to the form that saw him win last year. However it is a big 'if' given a truncated campaign. COST OF FREEDOM looks the safest proposition given he proved himself on this surface when landing the Ancient Title Stakes last time.
