Verdict
The battle for the apprentice jockeys title looks like going right down to the wire but Ben Curtis can get one over on arch-rival Gary Carroll here aboard DAISY MOUNTAIN. The filly has yet to make the frame in four outings but was far from disgraced when attracting market interest at Down Royal last month and, on the upgrade, is fancied to reverse that form with Frenka this evening. Carroll's mount Annakeen hasn't shown a great deal so far but White Daffodil must rate a danger after winning under today's rider at Cork six days ago. Celtic Life has run well in both previous starts at the track and may be the pick of the remainder ahead of Aoibhinn.
