SIR FRANK MORGAN had Excellent News well behind when rallying to score over course and distance last week. Providing this doesn't come too soon, Mark Johnston's unexposed four-year-old should be good enough to defy a penalty. Fair Breeze kept on in the closing stages when third over 1m4f here last month and the return to a longer trip will help but Poste Restante needs to find more to shed her maiden tag and Maid Of Silk is likely to need this, though her yard is in good form. Tallulah Mai has her first run on the Polytrack since 2011.
