Frank's Folly will have come on for his return to action at Carlisle where he seemed to handle the soft ground while Blighty made a decent introduction when runner-up at Kempton and should improve for that experience. LOVED ONE ran below par when stepped down to 7f last time but wasn't beaten far when fourth over track and trip before that. James Fanshawe's filly looks to have every chance of opening her account today and gets the vote. Ruffled failed to get a clear run when favourite at Kempton last time but still needs to step up on her form to date to trouble the selection.
