Rattling beat El Hombre when scoring at Wolverhampton and the latter had earlier beaten both The Nail Gunner and Araifjan when successful at the same track. Shades Of Summer beat little when landing the odds in a maiden over track and trip while Yimou is fitted with cheekpieces returning to this longer distance. HELVETIAN placed over the minimum trip at Nottingham last month but won this off a higher mark last year and Kevin Frost’s charge makes most appeal. Pandemic Princess was due to race at Kempton yesterday.
