        Verdict

        Super Frank, Grimes Faith and Katiypour are the three for the shortlist here and Super Frank is taken to complete a four timer off bottom weight. Katiypour has not won for over eighteen months but has been placed nine times since. He is not getting any quicker at the age of ten and his consistent displays ensure that he is kept on the same handicap mark. Grimes Faith won his first race in just under two years when scoring last time in good style. He was an unconsidered outsider that day, and his recent efforts previously suggested he may not reproduce it here. Super Frank has improved beyond all recognition and clearly enjoys the course and distance, with all his three wins coming over it. He has gone up eighteen pounds since beginning his successful run but he looks capable of scoring again. Super Frank can live up to his name here.
