OUTBOX will love todays trip of 1m 6f and in 4 starts she is 3 from 4. When he was beaten last time out it was only by a head and the trip of 1m 7f on good to soft ground would have stretched his stamina. A step down in trip on better ground should do the trick and considering he has only had 4 starts, you would expect much more improvement to come. Can’t have out of the frame.

Another horse sired by Frankel who I don’t think we have seen the best of yet. He has been running over trips of 1m 4f and to me looks like he is crying out for step up in trip. He has had 3 starts this season and has not run a bad race. A winner on his first start which was followed by a 4th of 18 at York. He then finished 5th of 19 at Royal Ascot staying on all the way to the line. The more this horse runs the better he is going to get and looks reasonably well handicapped on a mark of 99. E/W.
