FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A first racecourse ride could prove a winning one for Freya Frain. The young apprentice claims 10lb on CACTUS, one of two Aidan O'Brien-trained representatives in the line-up. Placed twice from four starts to date, the 76-rated bay should give a good account of herself off a featherweight. First Approach is the other Ballydoyle contender, with blinkers and a tonguestrap tried on this No Nay Never colt. In truth, none of the seven can be safely ruled out, with both Fresh Fade and Methodtomy Madness bidding to follow-up on recent breakthrough wins at Naas and Bellewstown respectively. 100/1 when second at the Curragh last month, it'll be interesting to see how White Smoke fares on her first start for new connections. Slaudeen and Parkside Lad complete the line-up and are no backmarkers.
