YOU'RELIKEMEFRANK is the pick in the first race after a good win last time out when winning at Newbury and he gets the vote ahead of Schoolboy Champ and Rio Sands. The selection beat Avrilo last time out by a head and carries a penalty in this contest but the John Balding gelding has shown steady progression so far this year and if showing more improvement could have the reckoning of this field. Schoolboy Champ hasn't won since debut and has disappointed so far this year but has potential to deliver a better run here and challenge. Rio Sands was a lot closer last time out and has won over this sort of trip before and could challenge off this mark. First Swallow has shown very little so far this year but has claims if rediscovering the best of his form. Our preference remains with You'relikemefrank to take advantage of the favourable disparity in the weights.
