LORD FRANKLIN is just 2lb higher than when landing a handicap at this level over the course and distance last month and his latest defeats have been in higher class handicaps. He can go in again though Silver Alliance is another who has been running in better races after scoring at Brighton. Treasury Notes was having only his fifth start and first on Turf when a close third at Beverley, where he looked like scoring until the closing stages, so he has the scope to get involved. Bahamian C won here in July of last year but remains 6lb higher despite not having won subsequently. Secret Lightning won a Ripon handicap early last month and hasn't been beaten far in her two starts since so should make her presence felt.
