FormscanBy Tom Weekes - FRANK PICKLE debuts on the all-weather but is an unexposed four-year-old who can continue to progress. Out of a winning half-sister to eight-time winner Settle For Red, he had shown useful form prior to running quite well in a Curragh handicap last month. He led and was clear for much of that recent race and while headed in the closing stages, rallied to the line, and can win from 3lb higher. Five-time all-weather winner El Bello has been racing over these longer distances recently and scored at this trip at Tipperary last month. Course-and-distance winner Gracesolution was well held at Tramore but had been running well previously.
