Verdict
Nottingham winner Jumira Prince is not badly treated on his reappearance and has been gelded since last season. Sea The Waves steps up in trip after winning over 7f at Kempton but Newmarket Warrior has done all his winning so far on the all-weather at Newcastle including last month’s success. My Amigo is another arriving from the all-weather having gone close at Chelmsford and Qeyaadah needs to improve returning to a mile. But COLONEL FRANK (NAP) ended last season with a win at Newbury and will be sharper for last month’s outing over 7f here. He should make a bold bid with the ground to suit.
