Several of these have been thereabouts on the all-weather recently and the outcome will likely depend on who best handles today’s going. Nomoathaj was still well beaten when fourth at Chelmsford in August but FRONSAC finished a decent third at the same track more recently, with Creek Harbour a length behind, so Daniel Kluber’s Frankel colt gets a speculative vote. Silent Dreams is another to consider on a placed effort at Wolverhampton while Matterhorn is related to a Group 3 winner among others and is a newcomer to keep an eye on
