Frankie is on board last month's Nottingham failure Tamarrud, who sports blinkers for the first time, but we prefer a couple of less-exposed types at the head of the weights. Signed Up won his maiden at Sandown having been prominent throughout but there is also more to come from ZANOTTI, who had the proverbial ton in hand when winning at Ripon, and Roger Varian's colt gets the nod. Presburg was beaten in a claimer last time and is still too high in the weights but Man Of Plenty and Ultimate Destiny would have a chance on their best form and Three Bards could prove hard to pass if allowed his own way out in front.
