Comanche Chieftain won here before going close again at Chelmsford and should be thereabouts again but MANOLITO is just preferred. The latter failed in a bid for a hat-trick behind the in-form Idol Deputy last week but can race off the same mark today. Mr Frankie has now been placed in 10 of his 11 starts and finished ahead of Dolphin Village when third at Windsor last month while Anastazia steps up from 7f after a placed effort here. Evacusafe Lady and Matraash are both course and distance winners but face tougher tasks in this than of late.
