The only success in 22 hurdling starts for FRAZEL EXPRESS came when the Barcoe mare cruised home here on her penultimate start, before proving it was no fluke when a good second of 16 at Clonmel on her follow-up mission. She's up 10lb but is in excellent nick on that evidence and is the sole course and distance winner in the line-up. Emancipator was backed as if defeat was not an option at Cork last month when beaten at odds on in an 18-runner handicap hurdle. Previously a twenty-length victor at Clonmel in an opportunity chase, he arrives 15lb lower over hurdles than fences. Duke Otto is unexposed over timber and is respected along with No Way Pedro.
