Connections must be praying that Song Of Freedom has the same abilities as older half-brother Singspiel. Although he may not turn out to be quite as good as that superb animal, Song of Freedom can take the Bonusprint Handicap at Newbury today by getting the better of opponents who look more exposed and less interesting.

The form of his Pontefract maiden victory has been made to look very good by the subsequent performances of second-placed Dantesque and there are valid excuses for his defeat at Ascot last time in an unsuitably slowly-run race.

With a decent pace, Song Of Freedom will surely go a lot closer here and can provide another victory for the irrepressible Frankie Dettori.

Forget Decorated Hero's last run at Newcastle behind Wizard King - John Gosden now thinks he shouldn't have run him so soon after his previous outing. Get on him to take the Group Three Grosvenor Casinos Hungerford Stakes at Newbury.
