Colonel Frank had been knocking on the door prior to winning a small race at Yarmouth and is only 2lb higher. Florencio won on the sand at Laytown recently while Firmdecisions is a dual course and distance winner. Despite being a couple of pounds out of the handicap, Glenn Coco is preferred to stablemate Compas Scoobie over this trip but the three-year-olds are more interesting. GAME PLAYER won a shade cosily on the Polytrack at Lingfield earlier this month. Relatively unexposed, Roger Varian’s grey can now open his account on Turf getting 6lb from the consistent Perfect Hustler.
