Most of these are an unknown quantity over middle-distances but FRIVOLOUS PRINCE went close over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last month. He's one of the more exposed but gets a tentative vote anyway. Desert Tango stayed 1m2f at Wolverhampton well enough on her latest start in November while though Betsalottie has been competing over a mile her dam won over today's trip and she should last home. Smiley Bagel and French Legend are others expected to stay now handicapping for the first time.
