    Verdict

    Frankie's Promise posted a better effort when third at this track last time but point-to-point winner Ben Akram faded badly on his debut under Rules in the same race. The newcomers Finaghy Aye and Ballyhoulihan are both related to points winners but fellow debutant GREENSALT makes more appeal. He cost 30,000euros as a three-year-old, is a brother to the smart Grade 2 winning hurdler Raya Star and can get off the mark at the first time of asking.
