3	Without a win campaigned back on the Flat this year but arrives in decent heart, shaping like the best horse at the weights for a long way when second upped to this trip at Goodwood last month. This surface should play more to his strengths so rates a leading contender. 1st Pick 3 Mr Freedom Jockey: Charles Bishop Trainer: Sheena West J: Charles Bishop T: Sheena West	100	-	-	-	25%

5	Low-mileage 4-y-o (half-sister to stable's high-class Pyledriver) who very much had the run of the race when off the mark in 3-runner event at Doncaster (form since franked) in July. Not in same form back from a break at Salisbury 5 weeks ago but type to bounce back. 2nd Pick 5 Pyleates Jockey: Ashley Lewis Trainer: William Muir & Chris Grassick J: Ashley Lewis T: William Muir & Chris Grassick	99	-	-	-	23%
