April Fool bids for his hat-trick but looks unlikely to get his own way up front with I Confess, Florio Vincitore and Kipchak in the field. That quartet could end up cutting each others throats for the lead and play into the hands of STOPPERS. He caught the eye on his recent return to action with a staying on fourth behind Yes Chef over C&D and Robert Mills' unexposed gelding can open his account here. The race could also pan out in Super Frank's favour and a bold bid looks likely from him.
