Doncaster racing tip: Each-way specialists looking for value on Freedom Day

17:20Hippo Pro 3 Sealant Handicap (1 mile straight)

There’s a plethora of proven top-class handicappers among the 15 scheduled starters, with Ralph Beckett’s Sonny Liston the most strongly fancied to mark a successful campaign with an overdue success under Ryan Moore.

Market leaders tend to do well in this race, with 2022 winner Atrium the largest priced winner since 2016, with three winning favourites in the last five.

The bookies are giving little away at around the 7/2 mark on Sonny Liston, suggesting that arguably other principals such as Millebosc, Liberty Lane, Empirestateofmind and The Gatekeeper hold better value against a favourite that has not won in 11 outings since his 2021 debut.

However, according to each-way specialist Richard Hutchinson, who provides the summary below as part of his Read Between The Lines service on Tipstrr, there is a viable outsider flying beneath the bookies radar at a tasty price.

In this all-age handicap, Freedom Day is an unexposed three-year-old with crucial proven soft-ground winning form.

Previously with John Gosden he won on his third maiden run over 1 mile, postmarking 84, and was green and looked sure to progress, but was then sold in the summer and is now in Mark Walford’s yard.

He has run twice and has improved with each outing (on quicker ground) where he has had a troubled passage both times, staying on from the rear. Both are promising efforts.

Here he runs off 84 over 1 mile and gets his soft ground. He is at the right end of the handicap, and if he was still trained by John Gosden, he would almost certainly be a single-figure price but instead sits at 28/1 across the board at the time of writing.

Such a price is just way too big for his profile and if George Rooke can keep him out of trouble, then he looks capable of outrunning those odds, which retain their each-way value down to 16/1, especially with four places widely available, and even five if you shop around.
