        Verdict

        David Marnane complicates matters with three entries though Fergal Lynch is the regular pilot of Almadaa who could prove best of the trio. He's looking a couple of pounds high at present however though he holds Copper Dock on their latest run behind Farmleigh House though not Knock Stars, who was just in front. The latter has a fine chance of going one better but Rigid Rock is held by Copper Dock and looks high enough in the ratings. THATS A FRET has only won once from 17 starts on the all-weather but has dropped to a fair mark nowadays and is handed the vote in a tricky opener.
