Frognal ran to a mark of 95 in Redcar's 2 Yr Old Trophy and the handicapper has slowly relented after a final run for Brian Meehan off 87 he was a good 3rd to Esoterica (himself 3rd off 5lb higher mark of 92 here in May, Class2 H/cap).
Switched stables to Ruth Carr and improved from his earlier efforts when not getting the best of runs on occasions, to finish 3rd to yesterdays Class3 second, Favourite Girl.
Now off 76 in this 0-80 contest, he should uphold the form with the 4 runners behind in that event at the revised terms given a clear passage, and with PJ.McDonald riding around a 20% strike rate in the last fortnight with 11 wins to his credit, we should get plenty help from the pilot and middle to low drawn horses appear to have a slight advantage.
Frognal 1 Pt @ 9/1

LEICESTER 5.00 ... NAMIR @ 9/1
Cornus looks the one to beat on recent form but he is now 11lb higher in the ratings than when beating the 57 rated Soto a length back in April.
Namir was a selection last time out where Graham Gibbons was nearly stood up in his irons from just outside the furlong pole, when from the final bend 2 furlongs from home after coming wide round the field he was just starting to pick up and not getting the best of runs.
Arguably better at the minimum trip but won one from 7 attempts on grass over this 6fls and goes well on top of the ground.
His penultimate run behind Ryedane he stayed on after getting behind early and had the 57 rated Soto, the conqueror of Divertimenti another 3.75 length in arrears.
Sophie's Beau, having beaten Pizza San Pietro here in May has now dropped 12lb and would rate a bigger threat than Rough Rock who was behind Pizza San Pietro last time.
