COMETH can make it three out of three for jockey Martin Lane. Nick Littmoden's filly is proven on soft ground and she is a straight-forward front-runner who still looks feasibly treated on 70. Franciscan remains capable of better and his Earl Of Leitrim form has been franked massively, whilst any market move for Avid Kale should be treated seriously. Gothic Chick's latest run was a personal best and it coincided with soft ground and along with the in-form Hawk Moth she is hard to discount. Focail Maith needs to improve for blinkers but does look fairly enough handicapped.
