Bonnie Prince Blue has every chance at the weights but seems to his best for Southwell these days and FREQUENCY makes more appeal. Three times a winner on the Polytrack last month, Conor Dore's charge never recovered from a slow start at Kempton on Saturday minus the now regular headgear. The blinker's are back on here and he's taken to return to winning ways. Waterloo Dock would have leading claims if at his best but his recent form has been woeful and a similar comment applies to Al Gillani. Athaakeel looks best of the rest.
