        Verdict

        Endeared and Utilis step back up in distance having both gone close over 6f last time. Perfect Play showed a big improvement at Ayr on his latest start but FRANKNESS is preferred. The latter was beaten less than a length at Newmarket despite running green and failing to keep a straight line and Andrew Balding’s filly will know more today. Three Yorkshiremen is related to a couple of winners and makes more appeal than the more exposed Zephina.
