Pundit pick: Acclaimed Freedom

Acclaimed Freedom, an all-weather winner as a novice, confirmed he's back to his best when runner-up last time off 2lb less than he carries today, and with his wind operation now seemingly sorted, there's more to come from a horse who remains fairly unexposed at this trip. Beyond Borders, freshened by a recent return to form and having come up against classy opposition last time, is the obvious danger from just a 1lb higher mark, while top-weight Emperor Caradoc also commands respect despite being tricky to assess of late, dropping back to the mark from which he last won. Duskaura, who stayed on for fourth over a shorter trip last time, could do even better back up at this longer distance. Acclaimed Freedom is a narrow selection in a race with no shortage of alternatives.
