DAAFIK was beaten five lengths when placed at Nottingham on his debut but that still looks the best form on offer. Frankie takes over the reins today and Simon Crisford’s charge gets the nod. Commodity looks another likely improver after a modest introduction at Newmarket back in April and is preferred to Equal Point while though Van Dyke was placed in all three starts last year he drops back in trip after an outing over 1m2f. Tukhoom sports his owner’s second colours behind the selection.
