Avocadeau was raised 5lb for his win at Bath in September but this is less competitive and Pink Diamond went close over track and trip in July and is only 2b higher. Euroquip Boy was placed over a mile here recently and Frontline Phantom will no doubt finish closer with a pipe-opener at Doncaster under his belt. But CHERRY STREET returns to the Turf for the first time since 2012 and, after a couple of placed efforts at Chelmsford, gets a tentative vote off his current lenient mark.
