9/2

Decent fifth in a 1m handicap at The Curragh (good-to-yielding) on his most recent start. Previously finished fifth over 1m2f at Navan (yielding) at the start of this month and is vulnerable to less exposed rivals.

7/1

Appeared to appreciate the step up in trip when third in a 1m conditions event at Cork (good) earlier this month. Worth a check in the market on his return to handicap company.

13/8

Making his stable and handicap debut when finishing down the field in a 7f event at Leopardstown (good) last month. Market support would be notable with cheekpieces tried for the first time. Also engaged 19:15 Galway Monday.

Forecasts

Flying Scotsman (13/8), Frank Arthur (7/2), In From The Cold (9/2), Mythologic (9/2), Meaningful Vote (11/2), Layfayette (7/1), Comfort Line (11/1), Joven (18/1), Fiburn F (66/1)

FRANK ARTHUR placed on handicap debut last time and with further improvement likely he is taken to register a victory in this competitive looking three-year-old only event. The selection can get the better of top weight Meaningful Vote who was a winner at the start of this month while Mythologic, placed over this distance at The Curragh last time out can claim third.
