Verdict
On a tough day for punting FREQUENCY can hopefully provide those wagering with a good end to the card, with Kaiasedie an interesting debutant and Melundy considered. The selection makes his fourth racecourse appearance and has been progressing nicely. This trip or 7f look ideal, and the good ground shouldn't be a concern. He is a horse of more potential than most here and can begin to realise that today. Kaiasedie is a nicely-bred newcomer with a decent draw and from a yard in good form, and pedigree suggests he could get involved, but he may have to wait for other days to win. Melundy hung away her chance at Redcar last September after having gone better than that on her debut at the same track. She may fare better after a winter off and is respected. Seven Of Diamonds is another of whom we could say the same thing, while Turning Circle looks likely to fare better in low-grade handicaps. We'll take Frequency to score.
