The unbeaten WEE FRANKIE will need to improve again but has enough scope to do so. He's upped in class off a higher mark after winning at Haydock but the longer trip should suit. Special Fighter beat Local Hero at Catterick earlier in the month but is 12lb higher today while stablemate Swivel has yet to win on Turf. Grandorio finished ahead Linguine at York last month and Dance King finished behind Memory Cloth at Carlisle before winning at Pontefract last time so could figure. Mister Fizz and Dark Ruler are others to consider.
