Verdict
Having gone close on debut at Newmarket, FRANKNESS duly got off the mark over course and distance on his second outing. Harry Davies’ claim halves his penalty and he should complete the double. Tellus wasn’t beaten far on soft ground at Catterick and is probably the danger unless there is significant market support for David Loughnane’s newcomer Tillybob.
