I Confess won over C&D last month and can confirm the form with Frequency, who finished fourth and has won twice over 6f since. However, third-placed RUBENSTAR can turn the tables. Pat Morris' rejuvenated eight-year-old has won three times this year and his latest defeat of Jungle Bay over C&D was his best effort yet. He's taken to follow up in this lesser grade. Both Unlimited and Lend A Grand turned over strong favourites to win their latest starts but more is needed here, while Emerald Girl has yet to reproduce the form of her win at Carlisle last June.
