Plenty can be fancied in a valuable handicap but the way he won last time suggests WALK TO FREEDOM could remain a step ahead of the assessor and he can shrug off the 7lb rise. Calie Du Mesnil is interesting for her top connections and at a big price it wouldn't surprise to see Golden Jewel outrun his odds.
