A few of these are on a recovery mission. Wu Zetian and Semblance finished down the field in the same race at Leicester last time having shown promise on their debuts and Nigel's Destiny was tailed off at Windsor earlier in the month. Heavy ground may have been a legitimate excuse for the latter but a chance is taken on MR FRANKIE, a close-up second over 7f at Wolverhampton last month. Tijan and Scarlet Sash look likely improvers.
