Tajawal has gone close on the all-weather but never threatened upped in trip at Sandown last time when finishing third of six. However, he travels up from Newmarket along with LIL’ FRANK, who finished runner-up at Southwell on his reappearance and first start gelded. Roger Varian has a fine strike-rate here so his charge gets the vote. The remainder with experience make no appeal but the newcomer Angel From Above can include a couple of Listed winners among her winning relatives.
