Frixos is well treated on official BHB ratings but has a long absence to overcome and preference is for recent Epsom winner Burgundy, who gets the vote over Regulated. The selection showed his best form since joining Philip Mitchell at Epsom and a reproduction of that effort should suffice in a race that should not take a great deal of winning. Coronado Forest has every chance at the weights but has given little sign of encouragement of late and of more interest may be Regulated. The son of Alzao was disappointing on lightning quick ground at Brighton last time and maybe better judged on form at Leicester in May, on which he would have every chance in this company. Very few of the others warrant much of a mention with Piquet, African Spur and One Alone probably the pick of them but Burgundy has an obvious chance and, if reproducing his last time out form, should be too good for his rivals.
