Verdict
ADONE gave the impression this shorter trip would suit when running out of steam in the closing stages over a mile at Windsor last time. He's fancied to open his account here given Sir Michael Stoute's impressive strike rate at this track. Bravo King finished well behind the selection last time, but Frozen Over showed improved form when third at Leicester despite refusing to settle. Brenhines is a half-sister to a couple of winners and makes more appeal than fellow newcomer Elusive Lucy.
