In depth
Verdict
Frolic was third on debut at Newmarket and only found one too good last time at Beverley. She looks the likely type for a nursery but would probably need to improve again here to better GOODNIGHT GIRL. Jonny Portman’s filly has come up against potentially useful juveniles at Newmarket and Salisbury so far and should make it third-time lucky today. Fusion Central has already had five runs but there should be more come from Diva Star, who looks a similar sort to the selection. Edge Of The World is a newcomer worth a market check.
