Fine 'n Dandy romped home on the Fibresand at Southwell last week, but this looks tougher carrying a penalty and the unexposed FRANGARRY is preferred. The latter made a promising start handicapping for the first time when third over 6f at Chelmsford and gave the impression this shorter trip would suit. Rocket Rob beat Boxing Shadows at Lingfield before the latter went on to record a double at the same track while Your Gifted beat Frank The Barber and Point North over track and trip three weeks ago and is only 4lb higher today.
