Eps 14:00 Cl2 10f 3yo Hcp
King Frankel 0.5pt @11/4 with a Boost
Maybe not very original, but his chance is there for all to see after his 2nd in the London Gold Cup.
The main MO here (apart from the selection looking to have a good chance) is that Beckett's record with Cl4 winners going straight to a Cl2 3yo Hcp is a surprisingly poor 0-16; the race Patient Dream won has worked out exceedingly well and PD should improve for this step up in trip, but I think KF looks capable of giving him 5lb. (Famous last words, but) none of the others look good enough. Freak Out impressed last time but there must be a doubt about him getting this trip and 6/1 doesn't appeal.
