Verdict
KINROSS and Frankie have leading claims of repeating last year’s success in this. He arrives in top form again having comfortably beaten Run To Freedom in last year's renewal with Rohaan and Vadream further behind. David Evans's charge is at his best here, however, while the latter will relish the testing ground. Sandrine was beaten by the selection at York before landing a Group 2 over 7f at Doncaster with a disappointing Spycatcher back in third but Sense Of Duty has been hard to keep right, though will have come on for last month’s reappearance. Mill Stream and Believing are progressive three-year-olds with winning form on soft ground.
