Verdict
WHERE'S FRANKIE (NAP) is 9lb higher than when scoring here last month but followed up in easy fashion over fences on a return visit so looks the one to beat. Memory Of Youth has also scored here twice in recent weeks, both times over 2m4f, and finished second in a huge field over this trip at Punchestown in-between. Boss Girl has yet to win but went close over the trip on heavy ground at Punchestown and a similar run should see her in the picture. Excelcior, a winner on the Flat, has shown enough over timber to suggest he'll be winning soon.
