The BHA ratings lead you towards Like For Like, who would only need to run to the level of her latest start at Chester to land this selling grade contest. August Days along with Frame And Cover make the most appeal from the others. Frame And Cover has already been beaten three times in this grade and is obviously of limited ability. The very that she holds a solid chance of making the frame in this company underlines the lack of quality in the race. August Days comes here on the back of an encouraging effort at Wolverhampton and the drop in trip will be a big help tonight. However, it is very hard to look beyond Like For Like in the search for the winner. Richard Hannon¿s filly takes a significant drop in grade tonight and, even allowing for the fact that she is beginning to look exposed, the daughter of Kheleyf is taken to have enough in the locker to brush this lot aside with ease.
