      tracked leader until dropped to third after 6f, pushed along over 3f out and could only stay on at same pace

      In depth

      Verdict

      Caribeno’s winning run came to end over 1m4f last time but the step back up in trip should suit while Frankenstella will likely be winning again this year having shown progressive form over staying trips last term. But RARE GROOVE (NAP) returned from a lengthy absence with a creditable second over track and trip and he gets the vote to confirm running with Cosmelli and go one better. Charlie D may have resented a first-time visor last time but the cheekpieces are back on for this.
