Verdict
Typically competitive fare for starters and THE NAME IS FRANK gets our verdict with Colombard and Thoughtsofstardom worthy of respect. The booking of Eddie Ahern aboard Mark Gillard's charge seems an interesting one and with the yard among the winners last week, we are hopeful of a big run today. Colombard represents the in form Pat Morris. He ran respectably enough last time out in plating grade. Thoughtsofstardom was a recent scorer at Southwell. He gets on well with Kelly Harrison and anything is possible. Miss Firefly made good headway from a tardy start at Wolverhampton and is back to a winnable mark. Commandingpresence has placed off this mark in the past and has place claims again today. Lady Trish makes her first foray into handicap company. Only A Game has dropped down the weights over the last few months though has a horror draw to work from. The Name Is Frank has plenty of positives in this race and he rates a confident choice.
