Formscan - There would be no more deserving winner than Taygar but she may have to play yet another supporting role, this time behind FRANTIC. The well-bred daughter of Frankel has let favourite-backers down in two of her four appearances - most recently on her handicap debut at Leicester - but the winner has gone in again to frank the form and Ed Walker's filly has plenty of scope. Pull The Rug finished with a flourish for fourth in a blanket finish here and will relish the extra furlong, with a visor another source of potential improvement.
