Verdict

Frentzen lines up in top form and should complete a hat-trick at the expense of Baloo and Uncle Mick. Emma Lavelle's charge defied a penalty for his Worcester win when following up at Hereford 11 days ago, and with no problems about the trip or ground, is taken to shrug off another rise. At the age of seven, he has the scope to progress more than most of these, and probably only has to fear a couple of rivals, with Baloo the main danger. He Stayed on well when second to Discussion at Newton Abbot and so the move up in distance should be in his favour today. Uncle Mick has been placed on a number of occasions, but looks very one-paced. Even so, he makes more appeal than the rest, including Sedgefield winner Pangeran who is fully exposed. All in all, this looks best left to Frentzen.
