Verdict
WHERE'S FRANKIE (NAP) was expertly placed by Karl Thornton to complete a hat-trick on this track earlier in the year, two over hurdles and an easy victory over fences. He's up 14lb from his previous chase mark but still looks the one to beat. Bold Emperor won on good going at Sligo in September and might have scored at Galway the following month but for falling while Champagne Beauty returned to form at Thurles and is just 1lb higher than her last victory at Wexford a year ago.
