Frolic sets the standard off a mark of 77 having gone close at Yarmouth last time and sporting first-time headgear today. But several less-exposed types look capable of better including BEAUTIFUL MEMORY, who made a promising start when third at Windsor and is preferred to the other Godolphin runner Expressiy, who is penalised for an earlier success at Newmarket. West Palm Beach is another to consider with Ryan Moore taking over the reins while Perfect Thought steps up in trip on the back of placed efforts over 6f and could also figure.
