The day’s feature has attracted a very decent line-up but recent course winner Noble Peace is trying a new trip. Petite Jack’s second at Wolverhampton signalled a return to form but Bodyline is best watched making his all-weather debut dropped in trip. MY FRANKEL (NAP) never seems to run two races alike but Ryan Moore keeps faith with the Stoute four-year-old who is only a pound higher than when scoring at Kempton in April, the last time he raced on Polytrack. Shandoz goes well fresh so a long absence isn’t necessarily a negative and Sir Rumi also has decent claims. Basilicata won at Wolverhampton two weeks ago but has gone up 4lb and Without Revenge makes more appeal.
