The last two winners have been returned at 25/1 and only two favourites have won in 10 years. CASHPOINT has never won on Turf but came very close when just touched off by Semeen at Newbury. He's still on a very fair mark, despite being raised 5lb, and can gain compensation. Frozen Over was stepped up to this trip for the first time at Newmarket and responded with his fourth career victory. Connections won't be unhappy with a 3lb rise, though this is a slightly better race. Presburg gained his first victory at Brighton and this is tougher and he's very closely handicapped with runner-up Highland Duke. Brown Pete is very consistent, which is why he's been creeping up the ratings without winning.
