Verdict
Expert View Verdict

Verdict

Having found only a 75-rated rival too strong at Nottingham last month, an opening mark of 70 could prove to be lenient for FRANTIC. Ed Walker's filly has already shown a liking for this venue when finishing a close second on her debut over C&D last October and she ticks plenty of the right boxes. Polka Blue has posted two creditable efforts in defeat on the all-weather this season and she looks the biggest danger, ahead of Blindfold Games.

Top Tip: Frantic (1)
Watch out for: Polka Blue (3)

Yasalam would be interesting if backed being unexposed, from a good yard and getting a top jockey but she is impossible to entertain on what she has shown so far. Similarly on handicap debut is ALWAYS PERFECT who has shown more form and could be on a generous mark. The consistent Polka Blue is probably the most reliable of the experienced handicappers followed by Blindfold Games.
