In depth
Verdict
Paul Cole has his team in good order at present and can strike here with Frixos, who has been found a soft race. The selection showed ability on turf as a juvenile and looks the type who can make further progress this year having failed to take to an artificial surface during the winter. Bridge Pal shaped encouragingly on the all-weather last time and should go well if translating the same level of form back to turf. Magic Mamma's Too is another to consider following a string of placed efforts recently while North Landing has claims on the pick of his form but his stable has been a little quiet of late and he may struggle under top weight.
