Franks Fancy improved markedly on his first run over hurdles to score at Kelso but he won’t fancy this easy under a penalty. O'Hanrahan Bridge has found only one too good in four runs this term, including last time on this track, but this looks a good opportunity for GRANDADS COTTAGE to make a winning start over timber given he’s already won a point and has shown promise in bumpers without quite having the pace to get his head in front. Gaston Phebus, another former pointer, definitely warrants a market check making his debut for Jonjo O’Neill.
