THALER has shown plenty of early pace over 7f and led going into the closing stages here last time. This drop in trip looks the logical move and Sir Michael Stoute’s yard has been among the winners recently. Shobiz drops back down in distance having finished in front of Alafdhal when placed at Wolverhampton and can figure but Frosted Angel failed to the land the odds at Catterick and is fitted with additional headgear. A tongue-tie is applied to Dream A Little and she may improve as a consequence.
