Verdict

Four three-year-olds take on the older handicappers in this. Back From Dubai is still a sports the Godolphin colours and Isola Bella May is another maiden worth a second look. Striding Edge and Little Ted have both won races this year but all will need improvement. Frankelio won over track and trip in June and is only 2lb higher having finished fourth subsequently at Ripon but his stablemate FRANKSTER could run well at much bigger odds. The seven-year-old runs his best races here and has tumbled down the ratings – he missed the break on his reappearance at Thirsk.
