Temper Trap missed out on a hat-trick when beaten at Newcastle though better is expected back on this surface. But this looks a good opportunity for FROZEN WATERS to open his account having been beaten only a neck over 7f in soft going at Newmarket on his handicap debut. This extra distance will suit and the Hannon colt looks the one to beat. Plymouth Rock will be sharper for a recent comeback and headgear is applied today while Perfect Swiss makes more appeal than Servo, who hasn’t raced since winning at Newcastle in January last year.
