Nowzdetime has the highest rating of the 16 runners after three starts in maidens on the Polytrack but Mick Quinlan's colt is far from certain to handle the testing conditions and a better bet looks to be THE NAME IS FRANK, who gets the vote with Highland Homestead rated the pick of the remainder. The selection has shown his best form on a soft surface and the return to more suitable ground and the drop in grade may bring about a change in fortune for the Seamus Mullins-trained gelding. Gary Moore's Apache Dawn has solid claims on the pick of his form and has won on soft ground but he has seemingly lost his way of late so looks best watched. First Tracks is less exposed than most of these but disappointed on his only previous start on a soft surface so he is hard to recommend. Rod Millman's Highland Homestead ran encouragingly in a soft ground handicap at Salisbury last time and has to be considered but it is The Name Is Frank that gets the vote.
