Fran Berry has been riding plenty of winners and teamed up with Tony Martin on board MICK SLATES at Down Royal last month. A winner four times in the UK, the six-year-old was having just his fourth start for new connections and stayed on so strongly over that 7f that he can get off the mark for his new yard. Three Bells makes a quick reappearance after Wednesday's victory at Fairyhouse for which he picks up a penalty. That was over 6f but he's won over this trip so rates a threat. Equation Of Time hasn't been in the best of form but is 5lb lower than his last victory while Versilia Gal is another who has dropped markedly in the weights, though she's never won beyond 6f.
