FormscanBy Tom Weekes - TAKE THE FREE has progressed well in three runs and ran well at today’s course in June. By a top stallion and a half-brother to a useful dual-winner, the selection showed promise at Cork in May before finishing a useful second here last month. Given his pedigree, he should be fine stepping in trip and likes a sound surface. Point-to-point winner Frankie’s Freebie has finished second in three maiden hurdles and while he seems a little more exposed, should compete. Acheron, runner-up at big odds recently, and Imarajan, are both rated 105.
