Verdict
Only Kersivay looks out of this at the weights. Frequency finished ahead of Lastkingofscotland and Northern Dare when third in a similar contest at Kempton last month and can confirm the form having since gone close at Wolverhampton. He looks to have every chance along with January's Kempton winner Italian Tom, despite the latter running well below his best last week. However, in a tricky contest, the vote goes to CHJIMES. The latter registered his sixth C&D success last month and won on the last occasion he was dropped into plating company here.
