Vujohn is bidding for a hat-trick at this track and it's a distinct possibility off only a 2lb higher mark thna his latest success but preference is for THE NAME IS FRANK. He was always chasing too hard from a wide draw here last time, but finished second when trying to make all over C&D before that and can go one better here. There's plenty of others in with a chance, however, and they include Catalinas Diamond and Belinsky, who both went close on their latest starts. Cheherazad has been running well in maiden company and Paul Hanagan takes over the reins today so he also enters the reckoning.
