Full Intention showed plenty of dash before succumbing to Awesome Allan at Windsor and would have been the selection but for a wide draw. Havelock is also on the outside but he was only headed inside the final furlong at Bath while Melesina made a promising start in what looked a decent contest at Beverley. Four Dragons led for much of the way on very heavy ground at Ripon and Percy Toplis showed improved form at Pontefract where he was only caught in the closing stages. With so many front-runners in the line-up perhaps Frankie can bide his time on Richard Hannon's newcomer MEHMAS, whom Al Shaqab paid 170,000gns for - he has a pedigree suggesting he'll have the stamina for further.
