In depth
Verdict
The Chevely Park colours look set to have a major say in this with Frolic and EXHORT lining up for the famous stud. The former disappointed last time having shown promise on her Newmarket debut. EXHORT ran a subsequent Group Three placed horse to a neck on her debut before landing a weak race next time in comfortable fashion. She makes more appeal than Ann Without An E who was third in what appeared a poor Goodwood maiden and then beat just one rival in an unsatisfactory Listed race at Newbury.
