Frognal returned to winning ways here last Saturday but is not certain to confirm running with the second Rich Again, who started favourite but had to be switched in the closing stages. HAADEETH didn't get a clear run in the same race either when finishing down the field but he remains on a decent mark and it could be his turn today. Secret Millionaire has been in fine form over 5f but has done all his winning over the minimum trip and a 5lb rise may well scupper Colourbearer's chances of following up his win at Wolverhampton. Baby Dottie looks best of the remainder.
