Frima has run four times and been a beaten favourite on each occasion, the last two when odds-on. She didn't have much chance against the classy Goldrush at Navan but should have done better. NIVVO had shown only moderate form which is why she was a 100/1 chance in a Listed contest over the course and distance last time but she belied those odds with a cracking performance and has to be the selection on that evidence. Pipes Of Peace is no stable star but looked ready to win soon when staying on strongly over a mile here twelve days ago so should reach the frame. Financial Conduct was a 25/1 chance on his debut over 1m4f here earlier this month but ran very well for a long way and, with improvement likely, should get into contention.
