FRAMLEY GARTH has no secrets from the handicapper at the age of nine but then again neither have his younger rivals. A course winner, he seems to enjoy his visits here and ran really well last time when a good second over this trip and Ben Curtis is a notable booking. He should give it a good go. Millie The Minx is a popular dual purpose performer who also likes this venue and seems sure to be in the mix yet again as she nearly always seems to give her running. Bouncing Bobby has yet to oblige in 13 starts but went well here on his penultimate start. De Mazzaro has already won twice since joining Tristan Davidson this term and merits respect once more.
