HOUSE OF FRILLS is the suggestion with Duchess Dora and Secret Millionaire others to the fore of our thoughts. It would be no great surprise to see Licence To Till attract support or to see him improve on the form that he has shown in maidens whilst Heslington showed enough at the start of the season to believe that he could go well on his return. Six Wives and Vilnius have been running pretty well but so has Duchess Dora. She's been handed a 7lb rise for her ready success at Sandown but she looks to be progressing well and should be in the mix again. Secret Millionaire disappointed on his second start but he got worked up at the start that day and is better judged on his other two runs. He looks to have been allotted a fair mark and makes plenty of appeal. However, we're going to take a chance with David Barron's filly who turned over a gamble in a Redcar seller on debut. She was bought in and put away until reappearing in a fairly competitive novice stakes at the start of July where she ran creditably. She's had another break since then which could be a cause for slight concern but House Of Frills looks capable of holding her own at this level and should go well from her high draw.
