Thefaithfulindian went up 12lb for an easy victory over 1m4f at the Curragh, when Bolero stayed on into fourth, but ran at Fairyhouse on Tuesday with a 6lb penalty and didn't take advantage. Bear Claws last ran on the Flat a year ago when beating a big field over 1m2f here. He won over hurdles at Tramore in August so should give a good account. Red Vermillion has been in good form all summer but it's about time FRANNO was winning a race and Colin Keane takes over for the first time after his mount's fourth placed effort in succession at Thurles.
