C&D winner Frognal has claims on his best form but has a tendency to throw in the odd shocker and did so at Newmarket last time while George Baker continues to improve, though it's a worry his one poor effort of late came over C&D. Tamasou was a losing favourite at Musselburgh last time but is not easily dismissed and Be A Devil went close on the Polytrack recently. SIR MOZART should be spot on now after a couple of runs and this looks easier than his latest task at Newmarket where he was beaten only a length in fifth. Barney Curley's charge is taken to return to winning ways today.
