Final Endeavour scored over 1m5f here in October and followed-up six days later at Galway though both victories came on heavy ground. Winning hurdler Aim For Glory is looking high enough in the weights on the Flat while Franno may need further than this having found 1m6f to her liking at Bellewstown. APRILS JOY (NAP) was in double-winning form at this time last year and after a very good comeback over a trip too short at Cork scored over timber at Downpatrick. A mark of 48 underestimates her ability and she looks the one to beat.
