Verdict

Reputation had flattered to deceive on several occasions though generally at a higher level before dropping into this grade and scoring at Leicester. He has a 6lb penalty to contend with but Frankie's presence suggests he's fancied to complete a quick double. NISSER hasn't fulfilled his potential so far after his maiden success at Windsor last July but he's joined Robert Cowell and a change of scenery may do the trick as he remains a colt with real potential. Cool Bahamian is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and he ran an excellent race in a much better race than this at Windsor last time while Koptoon was in the lead at this trip when just touched off in a Class 3 handicap over 7f at Sandown last month.
