This looks competitive and Autograph is given slight preference over Frankincense and Presentable. The selection finished a fair third behind Surrucate at Sedgefield last time in a much stronger race than this. She remains relatively lightly-raced, she is proven on the ground and she is entitled to run a big race. Frankincense was gaining his first success in over four years when narrowly beating Sono at Sedgefield last time and with this in mind the percentage call is take him on under a 7lbs penalty. Presentable raced a little too keenly at Hexham last time but that was still an improved effort and with a capable pilot on board today he is considered. Rose Davidson takes the ride on High Frequency and her experience could help him to run a good race at an each-way price. However, Autograph has plenty in her favour and is nominated to lead them home.
