        Verdict

        Dubai Frame makes his handicap debut on his reappearance along with Kittileo and Lucky Lover Boy. All three are open to improvement but RUSTANG won over 1m2f at Chelmsford before running into trouble at Goodwood and left to come home in his own time. The latter gets another chance stepping up in trip for this. Roundabout Kitten won over a shorter trip here at the start of the year but has struggled subsequently and Metatrons Cube is proving unpredictable.
