Verdict

Few of these arrive in any kind of form but FRANKLYN (NAP) looks the stand-out choice. He hadn't shown much in maidens before storming home over 1m3f on his handicap debut at Killarney last week for which he's been raised 11lb. He can come here with a 5lb penalty and though taking a big drop in trip should be able to cope. Airgead made such a good handicap debut at Gowran that he was sent off favourite at Bellewstown but fluffed his lines completely which didn't look his form. Kafu has been staying on over shorter and is gradually dropping to a winnable mark while Split Down South caught the eye with a late flourish over 7f at Fairyhouse and should be winning soon. Red Sole Diva found very fast going against her at Navan and some rain would aid her cause.
