Frankie Baby²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Bannister| T: W Greatrex| OR: 93

6/1

Unreliable type, and only eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f, good) 20 days ago, going in snatches. Others appeal more.

Form: P346-28

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden but he posted creditable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Much respected.

9/2

12/1

6/1, only tenth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (22f, soft) 29 days ago. Big step forward is required if he's to open his account.

GETAWAY LUCY showed the benefit of cheekpieces when scoring over C&D last month and is fancied to defy a 6 lb rise in the weights for that stylish success. Course-winner Sweeping Rock looks the one to chase her home ahead of in-form maiden Test Ride.
