Henry Candy's horses are in great heart just now and IMPERIAL DELIGHT can be the latest stable representative to cover himself in glory; Frequency and Sophie's Beau are obvious dangers. A case can also be stated for Nativity on the pick of her efforts but she does lack consistency - it'll be a weak race when she finally loses the maiden tag. Sophie's Beau is unexposed and may be capable of a little better than she has shown up to press. The fitting of first-time blinkers brings an uncertain amount of guesswork in the equation, though. Frequency has been frustrating to follow but has already shown enough ability to suggest he is capable of finding a payday at this level; possibly over a longer trip. Even though this is a weaker race, it's still off-putting that the form of his latest start was badly let down at Hamilton last week. Music Lover and Itwasonlyakiss are others worth bearing in mind for more speculative each-way punts. However, a chance is taken this ease in grade will bring the best out of Imperial Delight and the son of Royal Applause has a live chance of getting off the mark today.
