Frightened Rabbit only found one too good twice last month and has place claims again while Sword Of Fate is often thereabouts but will carry overweight. Deniliquin has had only four career starts and was fourth in an arguably better race at Stratford last month while a case can also be made for Kaizer and Floating Rock, the latter finishing ahead of last week’s Aintree winner Rowland Ward when third at Fakenham. GLENTRUAN has improved with experience and was a ready winner of a Cork maiden last month – a mark of 118 here looks fair.
