Pundit pick: Acclaimed Freedom

Acclaimed Freedom is our selection at Newcastle, and the case rests on a progressive profile that makes him more appealing than his raw figure suggests, with only four pounds separating him from the top-rated runner. Kats Bob is the main danger as the highest-rated in the field on 83, while Logi Bear and The Green Man, both on 78, sit just a pound behind our pick and cannot be dismissed in a competitive 12-runner sprint. Acclaimed Freedom looks the one to be with if his upward curve continues on the all-weather, so we side with him.
