Fredricka narrowly beat last year’s winner Lexington Place at Redcar last month and the latter has gone close again subsequently. Seve has every chance on his recent second at Nottingham when ahead of Silvanus and Classy Anne was beaten only a short-head over track and trip on her latest visit. El Astronaute will need to dig a bit deeper off his current mark but is still preferred to Dragon King though another chance goes to SAHREEJ in this. Charlie Hills’ colt never figured in a tougher sprint at Newmarket on his reappearance but won at Newbury the last time he raced in this grade and should be in the mix.
