Race Tip

FRANKELIAN (6) has placed both starts since a break. Tried a longer distance when third at Chester over 1m4 1/2f and revisits a more conventional track with proven stamina. OPTICIAN (2) returned after a three month lay-off with a second at Wolverhampton AW. Bold bid anticipated. FLICKERING HALO (4) bounced back to form running third tackling an extended stamina test over 1m6f at Haydock Park. Drops back in trip. Returning to better order. SOUTHERN VOYAGE (3) holds each way claims based on a long neck win at Doncaster in a. Disappointed in a tougher handicap subsequently which can be ruled out.
