Verdict
A few of these have already become expensive to follow and a reserved approach is advised for any betting plans. Frankskips makes obvious appeal after an eye-catching run at Nottingham last month and should have benefited from the run. As one of the least exposed runners in the field he gets the TEAMtalk nod for a selection. True Companion hails from an in-form yard and should be noted in the betting as he bids to end a frustrating run today. Dark Flower and Lady Netbetsports have had too many chances to merit considerable support today - leaving Quinta Special as the each way selection of the race if the price is right.
