    Verdict

    Another trappy if small-field contest and all in with a chance. However, FRESH HOPE ran a fine race at Royal Ascot when sixth of 28 in the Sandringham and that form sets the standard. The Fellowes inmate also showed a good attitude to score at Doncaster previously and is preferred to Al Baahy. The latter continues to perform with credit without getting his head in front but James Doyle is a noteworthy booking for the Frost team and he's expected to be in the mix. Devasboy is in-and-out and consequently hard to predict and Baileysgutfeeling probably needs to improve on efforts to date. Spacer, back from a gelding operation, had shown up quite well on both starts in May prior to treatment and could well get involved if spot-on for this return to action.
