EMBLAZONED will likely prove popular in this having made a promising start at Kempton last month when runner-up to subsequent Class 2 handicap winner Qaysar. The Gosden colt has Lord Vetinari, rated 78, to beat in this with the latter going close at Chelmsford on his recent reappearance. Your Choice shares the same rating as the latter but hasn’t raced since October while Southwell runner-up Dutch Monarch and the returning pair Georgian Manor and Bin Daahir could all post improved efforts today. The newcomer Eternal Frame sports the famous Sangster colours but may prove best when tackling middle-distances.
