FREQUENCY comes out best at the weights and can take advantage. Fourth over 7f here a fortnight ago, his earlier second to Elhamri over C&D gives him every chance and the first-time blinkers should help his cause. Anjomarba was outpaced over the minimum trip here last time but scored over C&D before that and she is preferred to recent Wolverhampton winner Apache Ridge. Orchid Wing recorded his best piece of form on Fibresand and it's difficult to make any sort of case for Music Lover on today's terms.
