WHIP UP A FRENZY landed a similar event over the track and trip before finding a mile just beyond him after a 5lb rise last week. He is improving and looks set to regain the winning thread though Family Pride attempted to make all in that latter event and only succumbed in the closing stages so must be considered over this shorter trip. Along The Shore was around 3l back and is beginning to look very one-paced but Rest Assured was just over a length behind in the first of those two runs and with a 3lb pull has to be considered a threat. Life With You has had the requisite three runs for a mark and did a bit better on her first start here a month ago but still looks a few pounds high while Comes A Time is held by the selection on their run here last month.
