Verdict
Estonia is a filly on the upgrade as evidenced by last month's two wins over C&D. A hold-up horse, she'll be looking to make another bold bid in the home straight but may find YOU'RELIKEMEFRANK too strong. The latter prefers a more prominent style of racing and, if getting first run on the filly, could take some catching. John Balding's sprinter also won twice over C&D last month and hasn't finished improving yet. Ten Down and the veteran The Tatling have a bit to find with the principals on recent form and Speak The Truth could prove a bigger threat after his best run for some time here a week ago.
