Yet another tricky puzzle to solve but BLUE ON BLUE is the main reason for Frankie’s presence here tonight. John Gosden’s gelding clearly found 6f too short when favourite at Kempton last time and is taken to recoup losses. Envisaging is fancied to reverse Wolverhampton running with Rouge Nuage, however, and looks a danger. Fieldsman, Nostalgie and Dark Side Dream also have legitimate claims while Gold Hunter and Sakhee's Return shouldn’t be far away. Dandy Flame is yet another to consider and Cainhoe Star has also won twice this year. Tobrave is still a maiden but was only beaten a neck on last month’s belated reappearance at Kempton.
