Verdict

A competitive event even without the presence of Sir Michael Stoute's one-time Derby favourite Midterm. With Charlie Appleby's yard in such scintillating form, it may pay to side with the progressive FRONTIERSMAN who looked a horse to follow when scoring in taking fashion at Newmarket last time. Dal Harraild also boast strong credentials whilst Clever Cookie lost no caste in defeat when defending his Yorkshire Cup crown and should again be competitive.
