Verdict

Trainer Noel Meade may well have found an ideal opening for his Lope De Vega gelding FREE RANGER to get off the mark at the fifth time of asking on handicap debut. The five-year-old can managed to see off potential challengers, Rips Dream who can improve on last run at Dundalk, Tirmizi, badly checked on latest start at Leopardstown earlier this month and top weight, Divine Approach.
