Verdict

Frankie’s back in action with just the one ride at the meeting on PITCHER’S POINT (NAP). John Gosden's colt landed the odds in novice company at Lingfield in good style back in March and may well have improved during the interim. Lady Sansa is also unexposed having run well for third at Ascot on her handicap debut while John Jasper is another with plenty of scope stepping up in distance after going close at Ayr. Bavardages won at Wolverhampton last time and can figure again while Media Storm has switched yards and is fitted with headgear and Durrell slips further down the weights.
