The Resdev Way is better treated on Turf but has won eight times on the all-weather and stays well. FRAME RATE is having a first run since May but likes it here and Gina Mangan’s claim is a plus. Blue Hero is 0-12 on artificial surfaces but is starting to look well handicapped. Selfish Brian will have stamina to prove but Sugar Candie showed improvement stepped up to 1m4f at Brighton in June and has more scope than the majority of these.
