FRENETIC was very much back on the up with a smart effort to defy a big weight in a Cork handicap last month and she's selected to land a fourth success at listed level for a trainer/jockey combination which took this in 2018. Urban Beat's latest York third received a boost when the winner followed up in the Nunthorpe last week so he's feared most ahead of Harry's Bar.
