FROZON has only run once here before and finished last. But he’s been thriving on a similar surface at Wolverhampton recently and had previous winner Hussar Ballad back in fourth when successful last month – the latter may struggle to reverse that form on only a pound better terms. The step up in distance is a worry for Champagne Pink but she’s been running well and Sir Runs A Lot won over track and trip last month and has only gone up 2lb. Falcon's Fire has been hinting at a revival and is well treated nowadays while Steccando is often thereabouts.
