Landed the odds back in maiden company at Catterick (7f) in May and gave his running again when 2½ lengths fifth of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (1m) 15 days ago. Could be thereabouts with return to this trip in his favour.

Recorded back-to-back wins last season, including on nursery debut at Epsom. Fitted with cheekpieces after 6 months off, shaped as if better for the run when eighth of 13 at Doncaster 2 weeks ago, so he's one to note this time around.

Improved for the switch to nurseries last year, successful at Lingfield and Newmarket on final 2 outings. Well held on return, but in blinkers he took a step back in the right direction when seventh of 10 at Sandown 3 weeks ago, travelling well. Cheekpieces now applied.

Created good impression when making a winning debut at Newcastle (6f) in November. However, she hasn't built on that effort in 4 races this year, fifth of 8 in handicap over the same C&D in May. Has something to find switched to turf.

In good form on all-weather upon joining current yard this year, making it 2 wins from 4 starts when scoring easily in 4-runner handicap at Wolverhampton in May. However, he's run below form back on turf the last twice.

2/1
Runner-up 3 of first 4 starts, including on handicap debut at this course (6f) in May despite having been left poorly placed. Met trouble in running at Thirsk 18 days ago, so she's worth another chance back here (should stay this far).

10/3
Promise on first of 3 qualifying runs last year and encouraging second on seasonal/handicap debut over this C&D (good to firm) in April. Not discredited when fourth of 12 at Haydock (soft) 6 weeks ago and could yet do better returned to this venue.

Forecasts

Mr Writer (2/1), Frantic (2/1), Eduardo Calderon (10/3), Cashbox (8/1), Galileo Island (16/1), Pints In Peace (16/1), Loquella (50/1)

Verdict

FRANTIC shaped well when runner-up on handicap debut here in May, form which has been boosted since, and having had excuses last time she could be ready to get off the mark. She is taken to see off the challenge of the consistent Mr Writer, while Galileo Island is interesting with his recent return behind him.

  1. Frantic2/1
