Race preview
FRANKIE FAULKNER didn't quite appear to get home when third here over an extended 2m5f and the drop in trip gives Evan Williams' gelding the ideal opportunity to get off the mark, especially in a contest lacking depth on paper. Film D'action benefited from wind surgery when finishing third at Ffos Las and is entitled to improve for stepping up in distance, while Fortunate Fred, who was runner-up in this contest 12 months ago, completes the shortlist.
