FormscanBy Alan Magee - WHERE’S FRANKIE is a real Fairyhouse specialist (his last nine runs have been at the track) gaining all four career wins at that course over three miles and further. The Karl Thornton-trained gelding showed great reserves of stamina when successful over 3m2f on his penultimate outing, with Pictures Of Home about six lengths behind in fourth, and hopefully he can translate his good form to this venue. Young Dev stays well and is suited by testing ground and returned to form when scoring at Navan last month. Cavalry Master has dropped in the ratings and gave some encouragement at Gowran last time, while any support for Outside The Door would be interesting.
