FRANNO has really found her form, scoring over 1m6f at Bellewstown and comfortably landing a handicap over slightly shorter than this at Fairyhouse on Sunday. A 6lb penalty doesn't look enough to prevent a hat-trick. Maunganui had shown little for a long time before a surprise victory at Navan for which he's been raised 9lb while Matilda With Me found the going too fast on her hat-trick attempt at Tipperary. Willie Mullins has acquired Double Talkin Jive and though the six-year-old hasn't run since February last year he'll be fit enough and the champion jockey rides. Sequoiaspirit had been running moderately over hurdles before reverting to the Flat and scoring over this trip at Limerick and has only been raised 4lb while Odd Venture is running well and is still on a basement mark.
