Last year's third has cracking chance of going two better in Kerry National

Bay Of Freedom
4.20 Listowel
2pts each-way

Fancying a horse with form figures of 0P7 in one of the hottest handicaps of the season in Ireland might sound like madness but there are lots of reasons for thinking Bay Of Freedom has a cracking chance in the Guinness Kerry National (4.20) at Listowel.

We will start with the ground. It is going to be bottomless and that will rule out the likes of Peregrine Run, Shantou Village and probably top-weight Jury Duty, who would all prefer a quicker surface. Bay Of Freedom ought to relish the slog having already won twice on heavy ground.
