The four-year-old Derrygreen Girl made a promising start on fast going at Thurles and should handle today's conditions while Seeking Susan was thrust into Listed company at Navan after a good run here. Many of theses have won between the flags including Simple Steps, who makes her debut in a bumper after two runs over timber, the latest when showing potential. BLACK FRANKS ANGEL is related to a host of winners and started favourite for his debut between the flags at Mainstown last month. Always travelling well under Derek O'Connor, he scored with authority and should make a very good jumper under Rules. He gets the vote in a tricky finale in which Freeway Space, who won a point by 12l last time, and Jodies Miss are also considered.
