Verdict
Sea Stone has improved for the fitting of a tongue-tie and bids for a hat-trick with Frankie taking over the reins. Diamond Bay won over 1m6f on Tapeta last week and is penalised but Zain Nights scored over 2m at Goodwood and can also figure. The consistent Cinnodin won when last at this venue but BLAZEON FIVE has also scored here in the past and, having won at Ascot on two of his last three outings, he gets the vote in a competitive affair.
