BAY OF FREEDOM has a penalty for his bumper victory but has performed at a higher level over hurdles and, as this won't take much winning, he looks the one to be on. Winning point-to-pointer Captain Bizarro was having his first start since April when mid-division at Navan in January and should have come on for the experience while Nikki Steel was left clear at the last when easily landing a point at Curraghmore last month. Tailspin had a couple of poor efforts over hurdles and ran poorly in a Navan bumper last time while Railway Pearl has only looked moderate so far, though her allowance can help her get closer.
